Villa Mistral Residential Villa

Architecture, Building and Structure Design Villa Mistral Residential Villa by Mercurio Design Lab S.r.l. The design intention was to reference the sea with Mistral backing on to a canal opening out to the harbour with views out to the water from the upper levels of the street entry side of the houses. The driving idea was to develop a form which conjured up the image of a powerful boat driving through the water. Named after the seasonal strong, north-westerly wind that blows across the Mediterranean, Mistral is like a sleek Yacht. Painted in all white with a metallic tinge, Mistral has a powerful solidity to it. The structural elements are expressed both externally and internally.
