A stately early 20th-century building in the heart of the Garden City
Solvay Architecture: Where Nordic Rigor Meets the Tuscan Landscape
Built in the early 20th century as part of the innovative “Garden City” urban planning project in Rosignano Solvay, this home was originally intended as a residence for the senior management of the Belgian industrial plant.
The Solvay architecture is a rare and exceptional example in the Tuscan landscape: a Nordic-inspired style characterized by harmonious volumes, large windows, sloping roofs, and a symbiotic integration with the surrounding vegetation. Living here means owning a piece of early 20th-century industrial and residential architectural history, set within a neighborhood designed to offer quality of life, tranquility, green spaces, and culture.
The Residence: Spacious Rooms, Character, and Privacy
Located on Via Roma, at the end of a cul-de-sac reserved exclusively for residents and nestled in the tranquility of a public park, Villa Solvay Heritage is an elegant semi-detached home that stands out for its spacious interior, its independence, and its private garden of approximately 700 square meters with two separate entrances on two different streets.
The residence, with its solid original structure, requires modernization and conservative restoration: a unique opportunity for a cultured and discerning clientele eager to reinterpret the interiors according to their own contemporary taste while preserving its historic character.

- Mezzanine Floor (~110 sq m): The main entrance leads into a triple-room reception area, ideally divided into a conversation area, a relaxation area, and a dining room. The eat-in kitchen, complete with a convenient pantry, features direct and private access to the garden, making it easy to host breakfasts and dinners outdoors.
- Basement: Connected to the kitchen by an internal staircase, it houses the utility rooms and laundry area.

The Private Garden and the Garage Annex
The private garden, measuring approximately 700 square meters, surrounds the villa on three sides, offering an oasis of privacy and tranquility where you can build a private pool, plant native species, or create areas dedicated to relaxation and family gatherings.
