VILLA GEROLIMICH

Nestled between the former Hotel Zipser and the Villa Secession in Grado, the Villa Gerolimich was completed on December 10, 1956 for a shipbuilder from Trieste. Before developing the renovation concept, we conducted extensive research on the materials used, processing techniques, and color schemes from the 1950s.

Thanks to Mrs. Gerolimich, who provided us with the original building plans as well as some additional versions that were never implemented, we were able to supplement missing elements and add new ones without disturbing the existing structure which had remained unchanged over the years.

Our design approach was to enhance the overall quality of the house and restore the dialogue between land and sea in a historically significant area that had evolved from a fishing village into an important beach city. Inside, the existing floor plan was carefully adapted to meet modern living standards. We worked closely with the client on the interior concept to select materials, furniture, lighting and textiles that harmoniously matched the character of the house.
