90 Architettura del Novecento a Lignano

The residential complex of the Golf Club is a prime example of how contemporary architecture can harmoniously integrate into the delicate natural landscape surrounding the Tagliamento River. The newly constructed buildings, primarily sequences of row villas, have been arranged to minimize their visual impact, respecting and enhancing the unique characteristics of the surrounding environment.

The most striking aspect of this project is its ability to blend into the landscape without imposing upon it. The natural high dunes in the area play a key role in this dynamic, partially concealing the buildings and maintaining the visual continuity of the land. This discreet and respectful approach to design is a hallmark of sustainable architecture, which seeks not only to build in harmony with the environment but also to preserve it.

The homes, designed in various typologies to better adapt to the landscape and the needs of the residents, offer wide views of the golf course through double-height living rooms, creating a strong visual and functional connection between the interiors and the green outdoor spaces. This design allows residents to fully enjoy natural light and the beauty of the landscape, creating living spaces that feel open and airy. The bedrooms, with balconies overlooking the living areas, further enhance this sense of spatial continuity, offering views that extend beyond the interiors to embrace the surrounding landscape.

The integration of the residential complex into the Tagliamento landscape demonstrates how careful architectural planning can not only respect the natural environment but also enhance it, creating a dialogue between architecture and nature. The result is an elegant and comfortable living environment that blends discreetly into the landscape, offering residents the opportunity to live in harmony with nature without sacrificing modern comforts.
