In the quiet countryside of Campocroce, where agricultural rhythms once harmonized with Venetian retreat, Villa Meneghetti stands not as a monument but as a memory in suspension. Dwelling in Time reframes this fragmented landscape not through erasure or preservation, but through grafting—a careful stitching of architecture, time, and terrain into a new spatial and seasonal narrative.
At its core is a promenade, a connective thread moving through, between, and around the existing buildings. Neither axial nor ornamental, it is choreographic: a sequence of rhythm and lightness composed of glazed corridors, bronze thresholds, and minimalist white stone façades. This quiet infrastructure links the wine shop, tasting room, restaurant, and boutique hotel into a continuous yet varied procession.
The villa’s façades are treated as textured relics, framed and protected by new colonnades and transparent enclosures. These additions do not overwrite the past but hold it in tension, forming a living archive where space carries the imprint of weather and time. Through restrained, reciprocal acts—inside and outside, past and present—the villa becomes an inhabited landscape where time is not rest
