MY VILLA
Italian Soul · Californian Body
Luxury villas built to last centuries, not decades.
Discover
My Villa.
Where Italian warmth meets Californian ease.
We design and build luxury villas in Los Angeles — homes of reinforced concrete, handmade ceramics, and bioclimatic intelligence. Every detail is curated to make you feel at home, from the courtyard that frames the sky to the walls that will stand for centuries. My Villa is not just a house. It is architecture designed as a permanent asset.
Architecture that is not an expense that depreciates, but an asset that appreciates with time.
Currently accepting four commissions for 2026–2027.
The Approach
A New Standard for Los Angeles
My Villa brings together an international collaboration of specialized partners — each a leader in their discipline — united with local experts who bring deep knowledge of California's construction landscape. European design intelligence meets L.A.'s most experienced builders. The result is a home that feels both timeless and entirely yours.

Three Forces, One System
Architectural
Intelligence
Intelligence
2,000 years of Mediterranean spatial knowledge reinterpreted for Southern California. The courtyard, the portico, the pergola — accumulated wisdom, not nostalgia.
Material
Permanence
Permanence
Reinforced concrete: the same material used in the world's most enduring cultural buildings. Structures that do not burn, do not rot, do not depreciate.
Biophilic
Design
Design
Architecture that breathes. Natural light, cross-ventilation, living walls, interior courtyards. Nature is not outside the window — it is woven into the architecture.
Biophilic By Design
Architecture that doesn't fight its environment but amplifies it.
More light, more air, more connection to the landscape of Southern California.
The Collection
Your Starting Point, Not Your Limit
Four foundational typologies designed as inspiration — each one a proven starting point that can be fully customized to match your vision, your site, and the way you live. From layout to materials, every element adapts to become uniquely yours.
Courtyard House
Architecture organized around an open sky. The courtyard as the heart of domestic life — a private world within.
L House
Two volumes meeting at a right angle, creating a sheltered garden and framing the landscape from every room.
Deconstructed House
Independent pavilions connected by covered walkways. Each function has its own structure, its own character.
Hill House
Architecture that steps with the terrain. Multiple levels cascading down the hillside, each opening to its own horizon.
Engineered for the California Climate
Reinforced concrete structure
Monolithic frames that absorb seismic forces and resist extreme weather events.
Cross-ventilation by Transsolar
Climate-calibrated airflow that reduces energy consumption and maximizes comfort.
Bioclimatic orientation
Every opening, every wall, every volume is positioned to optimize light, shade, and airflow for the specific site.
Courtyard House
The sky as ceiling.
The courtyard as heart.
Architecture organized around an interior void — an open sky framed by concrete walls. Cross-ventilation calibrated by Transsolar's climate engineers ensures comfort without mechanical cooling.
Interiors
Every room is a composition of light, proportion, and material. Concrete, wood, and glass in a dialogue that rewards attention.
Spaces designed for living, not displaying. Where natural light traces time across concrete surfaces.
Wellness
Where architecture
becomes sanctuary.
Designed to belong. Built to remain.
