Villa Scott

[4] This rapid change in grade must have inspired Fenoglio, who conceived the building as a harmonious alternation of volumes that present, in each window, typical Liberty Style elements, punctuated by lithocement hoods with floral forms and the free use of wrought iron.

The entrance is located at the left side, in front of a wide staircase, while the right wing rises four floors above ground level and is marked by three bays of expansive windows with three lights, one of which has an elliptical form, but all characterized by the richness of floral details in stucco.

Originally the ground floor (slightly sunken in the rear to accommodate the uneven terrain) housed the kitchen and other service spaces, such as the pantry, cellar, and heating system.

Unlike its contemporary, the Casa Fenoglio-LaFleur, the architectonic particularity of the Villa Scott is accentuated by the fusion of the prevalent Liberty Style in the plasticity of design elements with a hint of Baroque-revival forms, as if to want to establish a clear link with Savoyard architecture.

The result is thus a quasi-eclectic strand of Liberty Style, analogous with the distribution of volumes and stylistic tendency of Fenoglio's Villino Raby, completed the previous year (1901) also in collaboration with Gussoni.
