Villa Figini was designed by Luigi Figini for his family and completed in 1935. Figini was one of the architects in Gruppo 7, formed in 1927 with the declared intent "to strike a middle ground between classicism and industrially inspired architecture." The design of Villa Figini is an example of early 20th-century rationalism, Architettura razionale.

No matter who designer was,its dose not make it attractive..opposite..ugly
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect venue to get a colonoscopy.
ReplyDeletePeter ... you've used the colonoscopy defense more than once ... surly you can be more inventive ...
DeleteWhy in the world do some people want to plunk down minimalist boxes in Hudson, a place known far & wide for traditional architecture?
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that the design is so sterile that medical procedures could be done in that structure without the usual hospital protocols.
ReplyDeleteInfidel bombs neighborhood with white structure based on 20th century rationalism.
ReplyDeleteTime has not bode well for it. It looks like a solitary confinement cell.
ReplyDeleteThis style bldg is not appropriate for Hudson. It's a brutalist cliche and oh-so-precious and "look at me".
ReplyDeleteUgh.
They are both eyesores and nothing like that belongs in our fair city. We are what we are because of our traditional architecture. Why give it a black eye with modernist rubbish? So many people just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteIf someone wants to build a modernistic building on a street that is not regulated as historic, what's the problem? In 100 years this too will be a historic building, who knows, maybe then people will be building bubble topped underground buildings. If you ask me the variety would make the city look more creative and interesting--and would highlight the historic areas even more as a representation of their era.
ReplyDeleteActually I like the daring mix.
ReplyDeleteJust seems to be wasted on a small city lot.
As of tomorrow morning, I am opening an architectural practice in Hudson. Thanks to the generosity of Payless Shoes in the strip mall on Fairview Avenue, I have been able to accumulate a large selection of empty boxes that serve nicely to build models. My initial consultation fee is $25,000, which will be waived if the client agrees to proceed with a project in excess of $1.25 million.
ReplyDeleteIt's a commercial refrigeration unit!
ReplyDeleteIt's only a house ... they've been know to come in all shapes and sizes, like people.
ReplyDeleteVery .. richard neutra ! love it.
ReplyDeleteREALLY???!!! The ZBA should be architecturally ashamed...this is fine in L.A. but our Hudson is known and loved for its tradtional and historicaL architecture. This will stick out like a sore thumb and invite others to change the look of Hudson!
