Seismic Safety for Luxury Villas on Mount Etna

A design-led approach to seismic upgrades: safety first, with solutions that don’t ruin interiors or heritage value.

Seismic safety is not a “structural add-on”. In a luxury villa, the reinforcement strategy must respect space, finishes and long-term maintenance.

Principles we follow

  • Clarity: identify the structural system and failure modes.
  • Minimal intrusion: reinforce where it matters, hide where possible.
  • Compatibility: materials and details that behave well over time.

We coordinate architecture and engineering so the retrofit feels invisible—except on the safety side.
