Micro-Palladiana Hammam Cladding – Villa Troubetzkoy, Blevio, Lake Como

Micro-Palladiana Hammam Cladding – Villa Troubetzkoy, Blevio, Lake Como

Project Overview:
Execution of specialized fine-scale micro-palladiana surface cladding for the steam room
(hammam) within the lakeside Villa Troubetzkoy complex in Blevio, Lake Como. The
intervention required precise off-site template fabrication to achieve complete architectural
coverage across complex curved surfaces, vaulted ceilings, and custom-contoured seating.
Key Highlights:
● Curved Volumetric Cladding: Total surface coverage of steam room walls,
barrel-vaulted ceilings, and ergonomically shaped benches using fine-scale
micro-palladiana, prefabricated off-site using custom full-scale templates.
● Pre-Polished Marble Application: Installation executed using pre-polished natural
marble tesserae to ensure uniform finish quality and surface integrity across organic,
non-planar geometries.
● Continuous Quirk Mitered Detailing: Precise 45-degree quirk mitered corner joints
applied along all exposed edges and bench transitions, utilizing color-matched
marble elements to maintain uninterrupted visual flow.
