It took Architect Arturo Montanelli two years to recognize the project of this home for him and his family. The Stone Property, as Montanelli calls it, is situated on the bank of lake Como. The architect tried anytime possible, to connect the developing with the nature surrounding it. The thought was to create harmony amongst the landscape and the developing. Only natural supplies have been utilized : stone, marble, wood. According to the architecture’s notion only straightforward types and materials can be compared with nature. The local supplies had been used in all the rooms of the property. The floors in the dining-room and the hall are created with stones from Varenna, the town where the house is located. The colour scheme of the interior plays with the contrasts of the all-natural shades of wood, iron and stone. Furniture, lights and carpets add some colour accents.
