CASA AUDRITO
A PALLADIAN VILLA IN PECETTO, 1970

Commissioned to design a small villa to be sited on a hillside near Turin, Studio65 came up with a building that constituted a marked polemical contrast to the widespread fashion for ersatz farmhouses, which deployed the popular-vernacular architectural tropes of clay-brick roof tiles, facing bricks and faux barns. The studio opted for a centred, symmetrical Palladian villa, which allowed for the play of illustrious geometric solids: cubes, spheres and truncated pyramids, assembled by simple superposition. (F.A.)

Villa al Mare M.J., 1987

Every project from Studio65 begins with a collection of research, references, and sketches.
For the iconic seaside villa, Studio65 imagined a meeting between the Mediterranean and California: shaded verandas, open interiors, filtered light, and a sense of living suspended between house and landscape.

Magic Lantern
Urban Art Lab Competition, Riyadh, 2023

Like a luminous object emerging from a fairytale, Magic Lantern brings the myth of Aladdin’s lamp into the contemporary city..

Conceived as a temporary urban architecture in the heart of Riyadh, it is meant to be a space for imagination, encounter, and digital experience.

Through light, projection, and artistic participation, visitors are invited into an evolving narrative: a dreamlike journey across skies, oceans, and distant galaxies, where art and technology transform the city into a place of shared wonder.

Magic Lantern is also a platform for exchange, bringing together artists from Saudi Arabia and around the world. Here, visitors can explore new tools, free their imagination, and become part of a creative community.
