House on Lake Como

This unusual house was designed by Arturo Montanelli for himself and his family. The house is located on a sloping site, which has an excellent view of Lake Como - the most beautiful lake in Italy. The architect had been working on the project for two years. He wanted to create an ideal home, which would embody the spirit of this amazingly beautiful place and the harmony with nature. The house design was inspired by the traditional local buildings and old stone towers. During the construction were used such materials as local stone, marble, and wood. The house is located above the other buildings in this area, so that from its windows offer breathtaking views. Stone house looks like a splendid castle with pool.
