On the shores of the lake, Villa Milicia embodies the perfect harmony of contemporary architecture, traditional craftsmanship and the natural beauty of fine materials. Designed by Axe&D, this distinctive property takes its inspiration from iroko, a hardwood whose botanical name, Milicia, gives the villa its identity and serves as the guiding theme throughout the architectural design and interior fit-out.
Iroko takes centre stage in every space, revealing the full richness of its warm tones. Entirely designed and custom-made in the Dunoyer workshops, the interior fittings create a harmonious whole: bookcases, TV unit, coffee table, staircase, recessed niches, integrated storage, dressing rooms and parquet flooring. The furniture’s clean lines, precision joinery and carefully crafted finishes showcase the wood’s natural beauty.
Villa Milicia embraces the art of indoor-outdoor living, a defining feature of Axe&D architecture. Expansive glazed openings connect the living spaces with the surrounding landscape, extending the interiors onto the terraces. Outside, iroko is complemented by an ipe timber terrace, creating a seamless transition between the home, the garden and its surroundings.
