Elogio del Grigio House: The Enchanting Gray Palette
January 25, 2024

In the outskirts of Castiglione delle Stivierea, on the slopes of Morena hill, south of Garda, an architectural masterpiece was born peacefully. It is named Eligio del Grigio by Antonino Cardillo which exudes the mysterious beauty of the near misty lake through its misty gray shade painted on every corner. It also presents monumental arches and prism-shaped ceilings to personify the essence of a miniature palazzo.

The mysterious misty lake has been the design’s inspiration which is drawn through the use of gray shade on all of Eligio del Grigio’s surfaces from exterior to interior. Its gray shade offers a calm and peaceful atmosphere that flows throughout the entire space and provides residents with a peculiar visual and emotional experience.

The open façade with elongated openings and graceful arches is another interesting feature that brings the occupants to travel back to the atmosphere of ancient Pianura residences. It is as if this house creates a visual poem that is in harmony with the elegance of the surrounding environment.

A spacious living room with a high, gray, textured prism ceiling is the heart of life in this house. Decorated with furniture with high aesthetic value and the presence of marble hammams from Istanbul, this living room looks very elegant. Coupled with the presence of Venetian windows which are proportional to the monumental size of the space, it creates a feeling of freedom and peace for every user in this space.

Curvy elements decorate the doorways to create a nostalgic journey to the classic palazzo architecture. The gray shade envelopes every corner of the walls which results in making this home that invites residents to explore an exciting journey to the realm of colors, textures, and timeless architectural design. The architect's brilliant idea of combining gray shade with monumental arches and prism-shaped ceilings has birthed a peaceful living space filled with a sweet and peaceful atmosphere.
