“Villa Emma” is a summer retreat located in Costa Smeralda, one of the most prestigious holiday spots. This house combines the conceptual rigour of a traditional Sardinian Stazzu with the client’s desire of having a warm house with valuable materials.

This house recalls the local rural buildings both in the simple rectangular shape with pitched roof and the interior distribution with bedrooms’ windows on the longest side of the house.

Mario Mazzer Architects has designed an interior decor with pure lines using refined materials. Tones are mostly dark but warm, with calibrated color touches that create an elegant and cozy atmosphere.
Villa Emma features bespoke furniture pieces with finishes and details’ quality that could not be found in series products.
Storage units are integrated in the walls and doors are paneled with same materials of the walls.

Products that are not custom made have been chosen from historical design companies and great importance has been given to the architectural and decorative lighting system: bright veils with indirect light sources inside the false ceiling and masterpiece lamps.

The façade plays poetically with the sky and the land. The hand-cut granite stones on the ground floor recalls the typical rural buildings and plunges into the natural landscape while the large windows on the second floor reflect the sky.
