Design inspired by Automobili Lamborghini
Tierra Viva is a branded residence: the villas translate the design language of Lamborghini’s supercars into architecture, with sharp lines, bold volumes and premium materials. The villas are laid out over several levels, with large terraces, a private pool and landscaped outdoor areas; the larger models add a basement and a rooftop terrace.
