VILLA RICHARD MEIER The villa blends in a prominent location in the hilly landscape around the lake. Numerous outlets and views open onto the unique panorama of the lake, the surrounding mountains and the city. Spacious openings in the building shell connect the inner spatial landscape seamlessly with its environment while simultaneously filling the interior with light. Open connections between the levels continue the image of the terraced landscape in the interior and allow the constant relation to the slope of the site. The white shell of the villa is the canvas for the breathtaking spectacle of colour around Lake Garda the clear blue summer sky, the lush green of the mountains or the delicate pink of the dawn.

LAGO DI GARDA L LAGO DI GARDA Lake Garda is not only the largest lake in Italy, but with his unique charm and a Mediterranean climate and the most popular with tourists from near and far. Tourists from around the world appreciate the inland waters situated between the Alps and the Po Valley. While the northern shore of the lake is surrounded by two thousand metre peaks, the southern bank is already on the level ground. The high society of Europe and overseas had already discovered the pearl of Lake Garda for itself. The charming landscape and nature, the wonderful climate, friendly people, and not least the culinary delights of the region are among the benefits of these unique lake landscapes. The project Villa Eden Gardone offers a challenging group of individuals the rare opportunity to acquire a high-quality domicile at the first address of Lake Garda. The luxury resort, which was created by international star architects, consists of several villas, of which each represents a unique work, and a 5-star clubhouse with a restaurant in typical regional style and an elegant spa and wellness area. In addition to high-quality amenities and an unparalleled location, the project offers, above all, service of the exclusive kind as well. All these features make Villa Eden Gardone an outstanding new residential complex for the discerning buyer. ISOLA DEL GARDA 07

LAGO DI GARDA G GARDONE RIVIERA Grand palaces and villas, parks with lush vegetation and a consistently warm climate Gardone is a village possessing a special charm. An exclusive vacation resort for the rich in the Belle Epoque, it attracted hordes of the wealthy bourgeoisie toward the end of the 19th century, and has remained one of the most exclusive locations at the lake to this day. The slightly decadent turn-of-the-century atmosphere combined with the fragrance of blossoming jasmine, magnificent cypresses, palm trees, banana plants, magnolia and cedars lends the town an enchanted character as if here time had come to a stop. Gardone originally consists of two parts: Gardone Riviera the elegant hotel area at the lake and Gardone Sopra the actual centre of the village, whose colourful little houses, densely overgrown balconies and cute little squares invite you to take a stroll and explore. Another place worth visiting is the famous Vittoriale degli italiani the pompous legacy of eccentric national poet Gabriele d Annunzio. Swimming opportunities in Gardone are rather scarce whereas passionate hikers and aficionados of horse-riding get their money s worth in the mountainous outback. Gardone Riviera has been awarded a prize for its particularly clean water and its efforts in the local environment policy by Italian environmental group Legambiete. 10 GARDONE RIVIERA

ARCHITECTURE RICHARD MEIER Richard Meier studied architecture until 1957 at Cornell University and opened his own architecture office in Essex Fells, New Jersey in 1963 after he had worked for Marcel Breuer among others. He received orders for detached houses and villas, elegant white buildings that are not related to the so-called Bauhaus style, but to the domestic architecture of Le Corbusier, as Meier repeatedly emphasized. Almost all other buildings designed by him are connected to this style. They are decorated in white and strict geometric forms and are characterised by light-flooded interiors. One of his few deviating exceptions to his principle to build exclusively in white is the Getty Centre (also: Grotta House, Westchester House and Des Moines Art Centre addition). At the Getty Centre, the builders insisted on a colour adapting to the landscape, Meier, in contrast, on pure white. The compromise manifests itself to each visitor of the Getty Centre at first glance: All the buildings are painted in light ochre, the specially created Getty White. We have designed our Villa with the intent to capture the magnificent light of Lago di Garda in all its dramatic hues and shades and to carefully frame the views of the Lake and the extraordinary landscape for each space in the Villa. This is what we are interested in: the light as building material and the views as inspiration. RICHARD MEIER & PARTNERS, APRIL 2011 FIRST FLOOR 17

CLUBHOUSE CLUBHOUSE The private Clubhouse of Villa Gardone Eden with an area of 1,050 square metres provides exclusive entertaining for the owners of the villas and apartments. Surrounded by greenery, at the foot of the area, it has a restaurant, lounge bar and a spacious terrace. A spacious, high-end SPA area connects the inner with outer spas and offers its guests an addition, private oasis. The Clubhouse takes up again the theme of transparency and interprets the colours of the environment with its external facade in a playful way. An atmosphere is created here at three levels, which adopts the lightness of the architecture by light floors, classic shapes and generous proportions and places the theme of well-being at its centre. A central lift leads to very private first and second floors via a representational reception level where the suites of the Clubhouse offer a spectacular panoramic view. The suites, which have been designed with exclusively natural materials, vary from 45 to 150 square metres and are another highlight within the context of the Clubhouse with their luxurious proportions and state-of-the-art comfort. Innovation in safety and comfort is another element that meets the highest demands. NATURAL MATERIALS The leitmotif in every phase of the project is the sustainable development that accompanies Matteo Thun in all his projects: Both the analysis and understanding of the micro-climatic conditions, the optimal orientation and shape of the building, in the selection of local materials, the use of simple and reliable systems with low environmental impact yet highly effective work, and in the application of supervisory and regulatory systems has always followed the maxim of genius loci, the recognition of the soul of the place. Following the philosophy of the Triple Zero (0 km, 0 C02, 0 waste), only local materials were used: Stone, plaster, glass and wood. The Clubhouse and the Villa Matteo Thun is connected to the provided road network in the master plan, which in turn is connected to the major transport network. CLUBHOUSE ENTRANCE 67
