The dynamic composition designed by BlueArch, with bold projecting surfaces, aims to rewrite the codes of Alpine architecture.

A few years ago Elon Musk was struck by the Dolomites, in Italy, so he started thinking to build a villa in Trentino-Alto Adige and ask a design proposal from studio BlueArch, founded in 2000 by Alessandro Costanza and Alberto Montesi and specialized in innovative and extra-luxury projects. The aesthetic is reminiscent of the one that gives shape to the sharp lines of the Cybertruck and the initial concept of the project would have been inspired by Costanza’s dream of a turtle shell with the planes completely exploded.

The villa, 8600 square feet, will consist of two underground floors, three above ground, and a squared roof. It will host 15 bedrooms and respective bathrooms, a living area with big fireplaces, a cellar, and a spa with a cryogenic room. There will also be a retractable walk-in closet on the floor and a 98-meter-long suspended infinity pool.

While the project was being developed, the land in San Cassiano in Badia of 43,000 square feet to which Musk initially seemed to aim was sold, but since the tycoon was always interested in realizing it another top secret area was searched. But when word spread that he was interested in the area the price of land in San Cassiano in Badia, just like the turtle in Constance’s dream, exploded.
