Villa Wi
Casa Wi
Casa Wi - a unique masterpiece by the distinguished architects Wespi de Meuron Romeo. Integrated into a stunning rocky slope, the villa blends into the beautiful landscape, directly on the bay. The combination of innovative design and the fusion with the natural surroundings makes it a unique space.

Concept &
Vision
In order to preserve the natural shapes and textures of the breathtaking surroundings, the architecture was integrated like a chameleon into the enormous rocky topography of the steep slope. This is the project's fundamental element.
Reduction & Materials
Maximum reduction of the frame, stability and an unrestricted view are the result. A frameless sliding window with this delicate elegance lets in light and air as well as the “soul” of the outside space.
100% individual
The Venuro 3 sliding window blends seamlessly and quietly into the entire design of Villa Wi. With an up to 16 mm slim middle profile made of carbon fibre, it allows a clear view of undiscovered horizons and pushes the limits of what is physically possible with its sophisticated design.
It is "uniqueness" that drives Venuro – it is the interplay of function, form, material and the experience of the room that makes each individual sliding window a unique experience.
A fusion of architecture and landscape
Architecture and landscape literally blend into each other, creating a new unit that complements each other synergistically and appears more powerful than ever. Modern architectural elements that allow nature to breathe and at the same time provide maximum energy efficiency and burglar resistance.
Architecture, timelessly natural, interwoven with building culture and location, rooted as it has always been, more discovery than invention, creating something new from familiar moods, atmosphere, light and shadow - that is what we like.
