the history of the solar observatory
The solar refractor was built in the mid-fifties by Carl Zeiss the renowned “camera and lens manufacturer” based on the research and development of Professor Karl Otto Kiepenheuer, founder of The Frauenhofer Institute, former West Germany. In order to avoid image deterioration caused by heat flow around the telescope the objective was placed more than 20 meters above ground level, the direct affect of ground convection ware thus eliminated. Two tubes and two mountings to house the telescope were constructed, the outer protected against wind and weather while the inner carried the optical telescope independently. Known on Capri as ‘the German observatory’ since it was founded by the astrophysicist Karl Otto von Kiepenheuer, who was commissioned by the German government to find the optimum geographic location for solar observation as well as to create the most visionary and technical design for a telescope at that time. Construction began in the mid-fifties with the biggest names in the burgeoning industrial market of technical innovators - Siemens and Leitz at the forefront. Leitz supplied all of the observation equipment, in particular the telescopic lenses and Siemens (as pioneers of computer technology) provided all of the observatory’s computer hardware which at that time were as big as an entire room. In fact, all the countries newspapers were filled with descriptions of Herculean efforts to transport parts to the observartory by several special trains and then boats to the island.

the island of capri _pearl of the mediterranean
Anacapri Also known as ‘Capri di sopra’ (high Capri), the name that the Greeks gave to this ancient town, has long since been a refuge for the Elite trying to escape the summer hoardes arriving daily from the mainland to the town of Capri, whereas the serene haven of Anacapri, just a view kilometers to the west, remains more peaceful and untouched; which is why Anacapri has been chosen as the place where many fashion designers, architects and film-makers have decided to make their home.
Dating back to the time of Romans the spectacular blue grotto is the island’s most characteristic gem. Archeological evidence shows us that it was the emperor Tiberius who used it as it’s personal ‘ninfeo’. The Blue Grotto is one of the world’s biggest marine grottoes, and definitely the most famous! The name comes from the particular way in which the refracted rays of the sun hit the water and cause myriad azure reflections. The Blue Grotto VILLA solar observatory

Easy To Reach The international airport of Naples will connect you to all main European airports. From Naples airport you can reach the island of Capri by way of a romantic sea transfer (45 minutes) or by helicopter, directly from the airport to the Observatory villas.
The observatory villas are located on the most strategic and fascinating area of the well known island of Capri. Situated directly above the Blue Grotto, in fact the address is Via Grotta Azzurra no. 1, the sprawling estate covers more than 1,5 hectares of even terrain, a feature seldom found on the island. This spectacular part of Anacapri was chosen by the emperor Tiberius for his summer palace and also by the leading scientists and astronomers of the 1950’s observatory for its unobstructed and incomparable views of the Ischia and Procida Islands, Vesuvius, the Gulf of Naples and the Amalfi coast, a vista spanning over 180°.
Villa Damecuta - Residence of the Emperor Tiberius One of the twelve palaces built on the island by the Roman Emperor Tiberius and said to be his favourite summer residence owing to the magnificent views of the Gulf of Naples as well as the refreshing breezes from the neighbouring Solara mountain. A private shortcut from the Damecuta Villa leading directly to the Blue Grotto was created during Tiberius’ time here. All these privileges including the unobstructed view of majestic Vesuvius and the Amalfi coast with its twinkling evening lights will become the owners’ and their guests’.

The blue grotto One of the world’s biggest marine grottoes, and definitely the most famous. Situated in the middle of Anacapri coastline, between “punta del Arcera” and the “bagni di Tiberio”, also very close to the natural rock formed swimming pools and the celebrated seafood restaurants - il Riccio and il Nettuno. The name comes from the particular way in which the refracted rays of the sun hit the water and cause myriad azure reflections. The entrance to the grotto is so small, only one meter high, that in order to enter one must lay flat in a small fishing boot, and pull in the oars, or, if you are lucky enough to live close by, you can swim directly into it. Below the surface of the entrance, a natural window has been formed whereby the rays of the sun enter and are filtered by the water: some colors of the spectrum are absorbed by the water, but the blue and green pass through creating a natural illumination phenomenon, which changes according to every wave.

Just a few steps away, the former telescope building, on top of which remains the original Domeless Solar Refractor, the most famous telescope of the time. The existing original machinery and complete furnishings of the building represent an ideal setting for an innovative Mediacenter which still echoes the bygone scientific era. Still on the promontory and cut from the cliffs, the Turkish bath or Hamman, with its direct view to the sea and outdoor rooftop relaxation area.

Flora and Fauna of the Damecuta Estate The island of Capri boasts an exceptional abundance of flora, not only the typical plants of the Mediterranean but all the world’s plantlife thrives here. The most predominant characteristic of the Estate is the ancient woodland, full of majestic Pines with their striking canopies, as well as towering Cypresses, heavily laden citrus trees, Olive tree groves, Almond blossoms, Fig trees, Broom bushes and more. Growing in the dappled shade of the trees, a carpet of wild herbs and flowers, the scents and colors of which transform every season. Stacked stone walls dating back to the Greco-roman period, survive to this day, acting as terraces which were used to separate sections of the garden; specifically for fruit, vegetables, herbs and above all the vines, here in Capri small Viticulture was created by the Greek and Romans. Upon arriving at the Estate the romantic arbours of the existing vines create a natural roof above the open living spaces.

materiali chiarezza costruttiva
Le ville sono costruite con materiali per la maggior parte di origine naturale e di produzione locale. I materiali utilizzati sono di diversa natura, per i rivestimenti interni sia verticali che orizzontali verrà utilizzato un rivestimento in intonaco rustico. La muratura esterna degli edifici verrà riqualificata e i colori saranno di tonalità pastello light. La caratterizzazione degli intonaci storici,in particolare la conoscenza della natura dei materiali adottati e della loro provenienza non è solo importante dal punto di vista storico, archeologico e/o artistico ma riveste anche un ruolo fondamentale, nell’ottica di una progettazione d’intervento di restauro, compatibile con la situazione attuale degli edifici. L’identificazione del tipo di legante e del tipo di aggregato, oltre alla sua distribuzione granulometrica, è di fondamentale importanza nella scelta dei materiali idonei da impiegare per il restauro dei manufatti, intendendo, con il termine idonei, materiali con proprietà chimico-fisiche simili ai materiali originari e che siano in grado di riproporre gli effetti estetici dei materiali antichi. La lavorazione ad intonaco rustico verrà estesa anche ai mobili in muratura con l’inserimento delle piastrelle capresi come elemento di decoro. Per la pavimentazione saranno utilizzati diversi materiali a seconda della destinazione d’uso, per gli esterni è prevista la posa di lastre di pietra locale oppure elementi in cotto in base al materiale preesistente, invece per gli interni un pavimento in resina oppure costituito da piastrelle di carattere caprese.
Arredamento & Allestimento Proposta di arredo
L’arredo proposto per questi edifici rispecchia in parte le caratteristiche dell’ isola e in parte si distacca completamente cercando di proiettarsi nell’ hi-tech con complementi di arredo dei grandi maestri dell’architettura. Per quanto riguarda i rimandi verso l’architettura caprese ritroviamo le splendide ceramiche che diventano ornamento per i tavoli, per le sedute in muratura e le pavimentazioni. Invece per quello che riguarda l’arredo più moderno ritroviamo divani come l’ Extra Wall di Piero Lissoni, Island di Paola Lenti, Swan Sofa di Arne Jacobsen e Pure Sofa di Tribu. Per le sedute sono stati scelte sempre di Jacobsen la famosa Egg, la Cite Armchair di Jean Prouve, la Neutra Armchair di Tribu, la BKF e la Surf di Paola Lenti per gli esterni; inoltre viene proposto oltre al set tavolo e sedie di Saarinen anche tavolini bassi come quello di Isamu Noguchi e quello di Tribu. Per l’ area della piscina invece troviamo un sistema di arredo di Gandia Blasco che comprende daybed, lettini e puff chill. Per i corpi illuminanti sono stati scelti quelli di iGuzzini e di Eileen Gray con la sua Tube Light.
