Luxury homes: A light-filled house by a sea port in Genoa, Italy

Created for a gallery owner and graphic designer couple, this home is everything one needs to build a young family, even if it is a bit unconventional. The two-storey home is situated on the highest hill in the city of Genoa, the capital of the Italian region of Liguria, and boasts amazing views. On one side is the hill of Castello; the other overlooks the busy sea port.

Designed by Luca Scardulla and Federico Robbiano of design firm llab, the home’s unusual layout was initially a challenge, but they overcame it with the creative use of space and a light, playful colour palette. The result is a beautiful, light-filled home that lifts the spirits.
