Zattere Ca' Gardella

This is a rare opportunity to acquire one or two adjoining apartments in the iconic Casa alla Zattere created by Milanese architect Ignazio Gardella in the post war period of the mid 1950's. One of the first examples of Italian post-war Modernism to come to terms with its historical surroundings, the unique and fascinating facade is a mix of architectural elements which Gardella identified and re-assembled in a way which connects with the surrounding buildings, the area and the city.

The Building and the Properties

With elegant entrance, courtyard and magazzino, a lift and the all important air conditioning, it is a unique building in a stunning location. The large apartment has a good sized contemporary living room opening on to a large balcony with water views, two double bedrooms and a smaller bedroom, two bathrooms, and well equipped kitchen.  The adjoining apartment has a liviing room, kitchen area, double bedroom, bathroom and balcony also with water views. These apartments can be acquired separately or both together as stand alone units or perhaps as one very lage modern space.  

The ideal pied-à-terre in one of the most desirable parts of Venice, two minutes from the Grand Canal at Salute yet also well connected for San Marco and Lido by boat. Perfect.

Dorsoduro

This sestiere is regarded as the Mayfair of Venice: quiet yet brimming with things to see, from the Guggenheim Museum with its delightful, leafy gardens and exquisitely curated collection of modern art, to the Punta Della Dogana, a sensational collection of contemporary art in the old customs building, recently restored by Tadao Ando, to the Accademia Galleries. Snaking along the berst part of the Grand Canal, you will find charming palazzi - some grand and opulent, others on a pleasingly human scale. Take a short stroll from the Accademia Bridge to the Zattere for a long canalside ‘passeggiata’ or to Campo Santa Margherita, where locals gather to catch up with friends to enjoy the night air... Perfect for an evening spritz before dinner, or a nightcap before walking home.
