La Grande Villa
Architect: Andrea Ravagli, Maddalena SancisiPaolo Bertozzi
Andrea Ravagli and Maddalena Sancisi are part of a team of five architects under the name SPAZIOLIBERO. They work in all areas of architectural composition. Despite the similar academic training, they differ from each other in a variety of personal views, which leads to different architectural solutions – from urban planning to interior design.
La Grande Villa is a unique project characterized by glamour, exclusivity and energy technology. The house is part of a large garden and consists of two buildings that have different architectural features but are united in a common aesthetic language, which is also well reflected by its fusion with the surrounding landscape of the Emilia region.
The quality of the project is also evident from the energy efficiency, as excellent results are shown in the form of thermal stability of the buildings throughout the year. In order for the houses to be optimally heated by the sun and to function according to the rules of passive energy efficiency, the correct orientation of the buildings on the property and the correct design of the interior spaces are extremely important. Installing the solar system ultimately helps to reduce electricity consumption to a minimum.

The KAGER technology actually makes it possible to utilize the advantages of prefabricated construction while at the same time retaining enormous flexibility in terms of design, individualization, and the use of wood and other natural materials. All with the aim of achieving better performance in terms of comfort, thermal stability, ease of maintenance, fire and earthquake safety and without impact on the environment.
The two buildings have two floors and a concrete basement. The desire to build houses with low energy consumption led to the decision to use a wooden structure in the main part of the living spaces.
Large openings into the garden, panoramic windows and the use of facade materials and colors that merge with the landscape are important features around which the spaces have been organized. “KAGER has proven to be extremely flexible with its building constructions and designs, allowing the project to be realized within the specified time frame, even being carried out in a much shorter time than is required with traditional construction methods,” is how architect Andrea Ravagli described his Experience working with the KAGER team.
