FARMHOUSE MIRROR-BED: MARCO PONCELLINI!

In the Imperia hinterland, in Italy, the bedrooms of a restructured farmhouse are caracterized by an original use of wood, metal and terracotta.
The result is an unexpected sensation of lightness...

THE TASTE OF THE SICILY STONE: MONACI DELLE TERRE NERE!

Monaci Delle Terre Nere is a boutique country hotel set amidst a Sicilian Estate in the foothills of Mount Etna. 
This Sicilian retreat is deliberately small and discreet, providing an unpretentious hideaway tucked away from hurly burly of life.
With wonderful views of the Mediterranean, this historic boutique hideaway property provides 15 rooms set in and around the main house,  incorporating the original features of the building in a fusion of old and new in an eclectic style, that emphasises the character of the whole.



I've found interesting the contrast between grey and the punctual shots of colours, and the mix of materials too, in which concrete and the typical black stone of Etna are great protagonists.

ANOTHER GREEN ON THE WALL!


We're not broken.



Another brick in the wall, just like The Pink Floyd song, probably is the exact adverse.



Not anonimity, seriality, monotone surfaces, but individuality, personality: each leaf has a propre role and importance.

Is this the beautyful "green wall" that characterizes the new Reale Mutua Boreau in Turin, Italy.





The project, made by Studio Kuadra (http://www.kuadra.it) is been developed with style and great carefull, for the whole scenography but also for every detail: what a refined thing are the Mies' white seats!

BOARD BY SNAIDERO: AN INNOVATIVE (AND BEAUTYFUL) ITALIAN KITCHEN




I don't like advertising about kitchens. 

They always shows largerooms, in this great disponibility every furniture seems wonderful , the most trivial too.

For this reason I found the follow image as something really new, innovative, and telling about good design.It's a well-known fact that the home as we know it is undergoing a major transition. The space we have to work with is smaller than ever before, yet our needs are greater and more complex.

That's not to mention the contemporary lifestyle which requires our pads to be functional, technological, ergonomic and multi-purpose at the same time.

Board, designed for Snaidero by Pietro Arosio, is just what people with these needs have been crying out for.




The solution is substantial, compact and aesthetically light without taking anything away from functionality and ergonomics.

It is a smart, space-saving solution which effectively addresses the basic demands of home living.




Board manages to be fully operational in just a few centimetres, incorporating a hob and a sizeable two-tub sink area.

Furthermore, a convenient snack top is situated at the end of the unit where you can sit down to breakfast or enjoy a quick snack, while a waste bin has been set into the block to allow you to dispose of organic waste as you prepare food.




Board is product by Snaidero

WHAT KIND OF STYLE FOR AN ITALIAN ARCHITECT'S HOME? A loft in Bologna (IT)



Image/cucinella-05.jpg

An open space where life can play without limitations, where sensations, tastes, memories, culture, passions meet themselves. 

A delicate mix of vintage furniture, ancient paintings, raw materials. 

This is Mario Cucinella's home.

Image/cucinella-07.jpg

Cucinella is a great architect: he has began to work in the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, and after this experience he founded his own studio in Bologna, operating all over the world.


Image/cucinella-04.jpg

His home is sustainable, hand-made where it is possible, technological but discreetly.


Image/cucinella-08.jpg

Lights, green, iron, bricks, wood, glass, leather, cement are combined with great ability.


Image/cucinella-02.jpg

The final sensation is that we are looking for a place with a strong personality, just apparently random, but indeed deeply cared. Like an Armani dress.

In this approach, I recognize (and appreciate) the way of life of somebody that live in Italy, but taking care to the whole world.

Dettaglio serramento (foto di R.Norlander)

Raiffeisenbank im Rheintal, Austria

L'edificio da cui è estratto questo particolare è una banca ristrutturata. 
All'apparenza, vi assicuro, giusto un buon intervento, molto rigoroso, con una cifra stilistica piuttosto asettica.
Ma scorrendo i particolari, ci si rende conto di come invece il lavoro dei progettisti ( Bechter Zaffignani Architekten) si sia articolato su diversi piani di interpretazione degli spazi. 
Questo dettaglio della vista dalle vetrate ne è sicuramente un esempio: le specchiature sono ritmate con scansioni sempre nuove, dettate dal sovrapporsi di più piani di elementi (struttura portante, brise-soleil e telaio del serramento), sino a comporre un quadro unitario.
L'attenzione al dettaglio tipica della tradizione modernista mitteleuropea ha portato ad una estrema pulizia di ogni singolo componente.
Le intersezioni del soffitto e del pavimento, la loro planarità senza interferenze, tutto rafforza il segno grafico della materia di cui sono composti.
Ma la cosa sorprendente è il risultato di tutto ciò: una forte empatia  degli spazi interno ed esterno, che pone l'osservatore/fruitore in una dimensione di non-chiuso, caratterizzata dal succedersi quasi musicale degli elementi verticali.
Non entro nei dettagli più tecnici (triplo cristallo stratificato, edificio in classe A), perchè non è questo che mi interessa porre in evidenza; è però interessante rendersi conto che questi aspetti, pur rispettati, non hanno impedito di perseguire un risultato compositivo, senza diventare preminenti.
Buona giornata!
