Area-17 has designed and realised a whole new interior concept for this 400 sqm, 4 stories, high-end residential property owned by a Chinese Fine Arts collector in Sha Tin Hong Kong.

Inside Greenhills Villa, a balanced mix of classical and modern style effortlessly brings to life a feeling of old European sophistication, made of refined details and precious materials. In a space of 600 square meters spread over 4 floors, Area-17 has designed a residence that is truly a "home" for the family who lives in it, where representative spaces alternate with spaces for the family following the common thread of an airy central staircase that connects the different levels with their designated functions.

Villa Gabi architecture starts a direct dialogue with nature through the use of local materials and a design that aims to blur the lines between inside and outside.

When the Moscoso family bought the Palacio de Cristal in 1995 it was almost in ruins. They then started the transformation process that eventually would restore it to its former splendor. It took years of patient and caring work by Gustavo Moscoso and his sister May, supported by Area-17’s Enrico Tomidei, a team of artisan restorers and local craftsmen to fulfill the vision conceived by the Moscosos and to gather a refined selection of unique pieces of furniture, chosen with the help of interior decorator Julio Vinueza.

Villa Rita is a charming three story house in the historic downtown area of Cuenca, completely renovated by Area-17. The allure of the building remains intact thanks to a design in which the new and the old coexist in a harmonious and placid way.

Area-17 transforms a typical rural dwelling in the Dolomites into a refined contemporary villa. Traditional Tyrolese materials build essential volumes, through a process of abstraction and synthesis of original shapes. 

Traditional materials and topography inspires the concept for Vineyard’s Villas, three 250 square-meter dwellings designed by Area-17 in collaboration with Atelier Picchio in the hills surrounding Sierre, a beautiful Swiss town in the Canton of Valais.
