Casa La Scala, Modernist villa in San Felice del Benaco, Italy

Casa La Scala features two trapezoidal concrete slabs, with the lower one cantilevered over a promontory by a central reinforced concrete beam supported by steel pillars.

Architect Vittoriano Viganò designed this lakeside residence between 1956 and 1958 for André Bloc, founder of the influential architectural journal L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui.

The villa integrates glass walls and open spaces to create connections between interior living areas and the natural surroundings of Lake Garda.

Visitors can access the structure through a northern staircase or an eastern garden path, leading to multiple levels including a ground floor with kitchen, bathroom, and living spaces.

A 40-meter concrete staircase with a hundred steel steps descends from the villa to the lake, connecting the elevated structure to a small boat dock.
