What do you think PO‑2 actually is? — Palladio O2!

Architect Alexander Brodsky said about «Villa PO-2» that he wanted to combine an Italian palazzo and a standard fence designed by Boris Lakhman in the 1970s. As one of the prototypes he cited Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara — a Renaissance architectural monument from the 15th–16th centuries, whose facades are decorated with pyramidal marble blocks resembling faceted diamonds.

Today the house is rented out as a hotel room. There’s a large table that easily seats 6 people. But the sleeping area is more comfortably suited to just a couple — you’d have to step over people otherwise.
