'60s APARTMENT DESIGNED BY CARLO SCARPA

San Marco

This a a truly unique property in Venice being wholly restored, designed and furnished by Carlo Scarpa, with the design even modified in part to perfectly accommodate some existing pieces belonging to the owner.....a perfect meeting of form and function and a very beautiful property.

Entering through the huge entrance androne of the 17th century palazzo you could never imagine what awaits on the top floor - a lift takes you up to a totally different world - a 1960's time capsule, an absolutely fascinating and perfectly executed bespoke studio/apartment lovingly created by Scarpa in the early '60's for the owner, both his friend and legal defender, and which the family have continued to preserve and care for continually since then.

From the entrance onwards it is not difficult to feel that you are in a very rarified space.....a temple to the top level of modernist design for which Scarpa is so well known. You can only imagine the excitement and joy of owning this property at that time......especially juxtaposed as it is within the framework of a renaissance palazzo.

The property is part studio and part residence, with a large central living space, dining space, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and stairs up to a truly stunning altana roof terrace. In all around 248 sq.m.

Lift.
