Palazzo Tezzone

Overlooking the slow-moving waters of the Sile River, Palazzo Tezzone is a listed 18th-century building that has been given a new lease of life thanks to a project that blends history and modernity. Not just a simple restoration, but a project that breathes new life into its spaces, transforming them into places of light, connection, and silence.

The interior comprises three residential units: the two-story lateral wings and the four-story central body. The heart of the eastern residence is the courtyard, conceived as a secret garden: a central pool of water and the surrounding trees create an intimate and protected microcosm. The raised floor levels and flush thresholds allow for seamless continuity between interior and exterior, making the courtyard an integral part of the living space.

In the central body, the curvilinear staircase becomes an architectural and narrative gesture: it connects the floors and creates shifting perspectives, in a continuous flow that portrays the building as a unified organism. In the Barchessina, the removal of the infill from the lower arches has restored the structure to its original permeability, opening new dialogues between interior and landscape.

It is in this subtle balance between past and present that the windows and doors find their most complete expression: the X-Trim line, in fine wood and with a minimalist profile, was chosen to amplify light and dissolve the visual threshold, allowing transparency to become architectural matter.

The matte and textured finish, perfectly harmonized with the monochrome surfaces of the building, contributes to the formal balance of the whole, without ever stealing the show. A discreet yet essential touch, restoring the window to its most authentic role: not just a technical element, but a sensitive threshold between living and the world.
