VILLA GEROLIMICH

VILLA GEROLIMICH

Originally completed in 1956 by Virgilio De Grassi, Villa Gerolimich has been carefully restored to preserve its historic character while accommodating the needs of contemporary living.

The design process began with an in‑depth study of the original 1950s building plans, materials, construction methods and color schemes. Missing architectural elements were thoughtfully added, while new ones were introduced in a way that carefully preserves the integrity of the existing structure.

Key interventions include extending the first‑floor terrace with garden access, introducing a new courtyard and carport, adding an elevator and roofing portions of the upper terrace. The former garage has been transformed into a lounge space that opens onto the villa's lush garden. Interior spaces were gently reorganized to meet modern living needs with the client closely involved in curating materials, furnishings, lighting, and textiles.
The Villa Gerolimich project illustrates how a historic coastal home can be revitalized by enhancing spatial quality, honoring its original architectural legacy and strengthening its dialogue with Grado's landscape and seaside setting.
