ALESSI  photos Verne
Turn an ordinary country house into a fairytale palace, that was the assignment which the architect of Stefano Alessi, the youngest offspring of the famous designer family, had to face. And faced successfully, because the zesty architecture combines the frivolous Alessi style and the 18th century romantic style of most houses around the Lago Maggiore. In the interior, classic and modern elements effortlessly blend in as well. In the ample hall, the vase collection of Mendini found a place. The stairways offer a passage to the living room and higher floors. Although the house seems big, it does not have the air of a castle and it is mainly snug to live in.
