Nestled on the shore of Lake Garda, in Italy’s Lombardy region, a Brutalist, concrete structure stands in stark contrast to the verdant landscape. It’s the erstwhile home of French sculptor and publisher André Bloc, built in the 1950s by his friend, the Italian architect Vittoriano Viganò. A simple holiday house for three, it was designed for recharging, making art, and drinking in the lakeside vistas
