The Veneto Villa has a wider frontage with less depth than the Ionic Villa, to take account of the different shape of the site. The plan is based on the designs by Andrea Palladio for the Villa Badoer and the Villa Zena published in the Quattro Libri and was thoroughly revised as the design developed. Whereas the Ionic Villa employs a giant Order with four columns and is massive in scale, this Villa employs a Doric Order with a superimposed Ionic Order and parapet on eight columns. The scale is therefore smaller and more refined. This is inspired by the Cornaro Loggia in Padua by GM Falconetto, and other Palladian themes popular in the Veneto have been employed, all of which are determined by the spacing of the triglyphs and metopae in the Doric Order and the modillions in the Ionic Order. Internally the detail is English with a strong Veneto influence. Service wings provide staff accommodation, double garage and garden shed. The basement provides the normal facilities of boiler room, wine cellar, laundry, safe etc. The building is constructed in loadbearing brickwork, with natural and reconstructed stone dressings, and faced in stucco.
