Ghost, a daydream that keeps coming true after 35 years.

“I had thought of provocatively designing a non-existent armchair to sit in... emptiness, but I never had seriously thought of making an armchair in glass [...]

Yet for Ghost my diffidence was overcome by the desire-challenge to see if we could actually realize it, and if FIAM would be so good as to be able to produce it; and I proposed it: it was my challenge and theirs to prove the potential of this material, glass, which I love very much.”

T

he theme of this magazine is summed up in the cover claim: A State of Mind: Well-being.

We talk about well-being understood as being well in the space in which we live and, even more, we talk about places that allow for sociality and interaction among people. Virtuous examples of a new way of conceiving our living and of valuing more and more what is the human aspect that underlies every project. Therefore, the concept of our Fuori Salone 2022 was The Value of Intangibility: a way of valuing not only the products but the people who contributed to their creation. Because today true sustainability is not just about the product or architecture itself but about the whole process behind making it and that includes respect for the people who create it. We often hear about sustainable design Too many times it has been associated simply with a beautiful chair made of 100% recycled and recyclable cardboard. But it hasn’t. The term

“sustainability” has often lost its value, indicating a set of concepts that are normally vague and refer only to the environmental aspect: respect for nature and reduction of resource use. Good sustainable design is design that looks not only at the present, but considers the entire production cycle, thus the system of people and resources involved in production. Just as it must look to the future: it must be a long-lived product that is meant to last. This for us is what our event is all about: making people think about how a project is born and developed and how what we see, is the result of teamwork. We are very happy with the results obtained during the Fuori Salone, which was appreciated by everyone: a return to the important design week. And soon there will be new things that we are looking forward to communicating that will be expressed in projects whose purpose will be precisely to take care of people at 360°.

IL VALORE DELL’INTANGIBILE AN INCREDIBLE SUCCESS AT THE HOME ITALIA FUORI SALONE. THE EVENT, “IL VALORE DELL’INTANGIBILE ” (THE VALUE OF INTANGIBILITY) BY S 2 ARCHITECTS, SAW 12 COMPANIES PROTAGONIST BROUGHT TOGETHER UNDER THE BANNER OF TRUE SUSTAINABILITY THAT WANTS TO HIGHLIGHT THE PEOPLE WHO WORK BEHIND THE REALIZATION OF A PROJECT Photography by Ergest Ajasllari, Lorenzo Lorenzini, Claudio Mangiarotti

T

he project for Home Italia’s Fuori Salone 2022 set-up, designed by S 2 Architetti, was transformed, into a path that enhances the entire human production chain, for a more ethical and authentically sustainable future.

Sustainability and green are commonly used words, in the most visible and measurable sense of the term. However, there is an intangible world, embodied by ideas, values and emotions, concepts that are eternal and timeless because they reflect the thinking and true essence of human beings.

The intangible could be figuratively associated with the submerged portion of an iceberg, an essential and predominant part that lies below the water’s edge and is hidden from the eyes, but which materially exists and has a fundamental absolute value.

How can this intangible value be expressed, particularly in the field of design and architecture?

Is it possible to quantify the intangible value of any architecture, product and object?

The S 2 Architetti studio has made it its goal to provide an answer to these questions by enhancing the non-visible aspects of the design and product realization process, primarily by raising awareness among companies, with the aim of bringing out the added value expressed by the energy emanating from the intangible world. The concept is made explicit through the application of a colored label to each product on display, which stands out from the neutral, monochrome colors of the objects themselves. On each label, the people who participated, from conception to realization of the individual product, are displayed with quality scores linked to individual intangible aspects of the processes. Finally, the product receives a total score equivalent to the amount of positive energy accumulated during the entire process. Participating companies have “put their

face on it” and joined the first experimental application of the provocative concept proposed by the architects. The exhibition encourages an ethical path that enhances the entire human production chain.

On the 9th evening, Cristina Parodi was the special guest of Home Italia’s Main Event, welcomed by Luca Valle, the founder and creator of Home Italia, who was awarded Best Entrepreneur in 2019 and 2020 and has now become a General Contractor of Made in Italy, unique because it is innovative. As Luca Valle recounts, “No one expected such a sensational return, between Salone and Fuori Salone: about a thousand events enlivened the city and each company amazed by bringing surprising new collections to the show.”, and he continues: “There was no shortage of domestic and international visitors, despite the fact that travel is still limited in some countries. The installation I presented with my company, Il valore dell’intangibile (The value of Intagibility), featured 12 companies that launched innovative ideas and products under the banner of sustainability. Our concept represented and united the companies with each other in one location. The key word for this off-show is “ restart “; Italian manufacturers are ready, in fact, to restart and I am sure that the international client has perceived all the potential and innovation that there has been in these two years of stop. Now more than ever we are ready to put ourselves back on the international market with products designed to improve the comfort of our customers.” Then, on June 10, the protagonist was Maurizio Lai, architect and designer, creator of a unique design language in which light has always played a fundamental role, anticipating times and trends. Hospitality and Retail are the theater of expressive research, which translates into the built as visual impact and creation of experience. The lecture illustrated the basic criteria of custom design, drawing the line between personalization and identity of a space. Other VIPs who came to the Home Italia space included Claudio Brachino, Veronica Gaido, Denny Méndez, Paola Manfrin, Piero Lissoni, and many other friends. The exhibitors and sponsors of the Home Italia event are: Bencore, Dedalo stone, Ress tende, Sharp nec, Punto ciemme, Corte zari , Edion, Federica design, Nexo luce, Silvestri marmi, Marazzi group, Myyour , Lab 23, Hw style, Natural boom, That’s vapore, Mimosa, Marè, Ted wine, Coraya, Michele Cannistraro chef, Nobuya Niimori chef.

ART TO WEAR VENUSIA, THE NEW JEWELRY COLLECTION DESIGNED

BY ELENA SALMISTRARO

T

he visionary designer develops her personal research by following five “expressive strands” with evocative names - Acta, Freesia, Edone, Trama and Lorica within which she delves into different metal workings: from laser cutting to calendering, from drawing to Etruscan granulation, one of the most ancient and fascinating goldsmithing techniques that consisted of soldering tiny gold or silver spheres onto a metal sheet.

Thus jewelry comes to life, enhancing the expressive qualities of metals as they interact with light and highlighting the details of this collection. Rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings that conceal a high level of craftsmanship complexity: produced in stainless steel, totally hypoallergenic, they are further embellished with refined PVD gold and black color finishes.

In Venusia, product by Alessi, impalpable fretwork and textured surfaces, tribal imagery and contemporaneity are mixed to create evocative and fascinating shapes: for those who seek in a piece of jewelry originality and expressive details that evoke emotion. H

VISIONARY

THE PLUS: HEALTHY WORKING IN THE WOOD Words by di Laura Ragazzola Photography by Einar Aslaksen

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NORVEGIAN FOREST A UNIQUE FACTORY DESIGNED BY THE DANISH STUDIO BIG, RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT, ENHANCING WORKERS’ WELL-BEING AND SHARING THE BEAUTY OF THE PLACE WITH VISITORS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

I

n Magnor, about 80 kilometers from Oslo, close to the Swedish border, a new production center was opened last summer by Vestre, the historic Norwegian family company that has been producing furniture for urban spaces all over the world for over 70 years.

Called ‘The Plus’, the new factory rises in the middle of a forest and is different from any other, as it moves away from the models of the past. “Vestre’s aim is

46

not simply to produce furniture,” explains Stefan Tjust, CEO of the company. “We aim to create places where work is safe and pleasant and where people can meet overcoming any social, cultural and financial divisions. In this way, we hope to make the world a slightly better place”.

The unique architecture of ‘The Plus’ is consistent with the new factory model focused on people’s well-being. Bjarke Ingels, founder of the Danish archi-

tecture firm BIG, who signs the project, explains.

“The Plus has a simple x-shaped geometry, whose four wings deftly distribute the building’s bulk and constantly reinforce the sense of being immersed in the forest. At the centre of The Plus, the four wings form an effective logistics hub, which is also a democratic meeting place for employees and visitors that provides maximum transparency.”

The factory, which has been built in just 18 months thanks to a light prefabricated structure, reaches new levels of sustainability through the extensive use of technologies such as solar, heat pumps, geo-

48

thermal wells (energy consumption is 60 percent less than a conventional factory). It offers a very bright working environment overlooking the woods, relaxation areas, fitness facilities, free electric bicycles. Visitors can easily access the factory hub and enjoy the 30 hectares of wood that surrounds it.

There are no fences around the industrial complex and one can observe, through its 2000 square meters of glass facades, what happens inside. Also, a viewpoint has been created on the roof of the factory, accessible from the wood, which offer to everyone a breathtaking sight of the Norvegian landscape. H

ROOMS OF ONES’S OWN

By Laura Ragazzola Photography by Ilaria Corticelli and Alberto Rizzieri

IN THE MILAN HOUSE-STUDIO BY THE YOUNG ITALIAN ARCHITECT ROBERTA BORRELLI, SPACES ARE DESIGNED TO MEET LIFE AND WORK NEEDS. WITH A FOCUS ON WELL-BEING

home is not just a place to live, and a studio is not just a place to work”, says Roberta Borrelli, founder of Makeyourhomestudio, speaking about Poetica* Apt, her new home-studio that has been opened to the public during the Milan Design Week last June. Poetica * Apt, which is located in the Navigli district, an iconic area of old Milan, brings together everything you need to live and work in a handful of square meters. “It’s a space to calm down, refuel and get inspired” explains the archi-

tect. “I wanted to design a place where you feel good.

A place where you get into relation not only with the outside world, but above all with yourself.” That’s why the project, in addition to identifying a public and a private area, also includes secret spaces, “the ones dedicated only to myself”. In short, different places, to support different moods. “I think that our homes should be as eclectic as our personalities and as complex as our relationships”, says Borrelli.

The furniture and materials reflect the young architect’s design philosophy: to seek aesthetic and formal solutions that go beyond function, expressing both high quality design and the personality of those who live in the place. “I carefully chose a few pieces of furniture and objects”, explains the architect. “To me, they are distinctive pieces, which can evoke a smile or bring comfort on a rainy day ...”. Also, the project wanted to explore how the well-being could be improved by a mix of technology and design: from the sanitizing lamp to the filter to reduce plastic, up to the ultra-light headphones “to alleviate long work calls”, she reveals with a smile. H

MAKEYOURHOMESTUDIO,

based in Milan, is a creative research laboratory Roberta Borrelli founded in 2012 to propose a new way of living the design experience. The studio works in different areas from online interior consulting to renovation design, from art direction to styling - and aims to promote a symbiotic interaction between communication, design and architecture. Borrelli’s style stands out for its clean lines and references to the northern Europe tradition. Her houses are modelled from domestic gestures and rituals, her interiors are designed around functions and not objects.

Here on the right, Roberta in her home-studio.

BAGLIONI RESORT SARDINIA SPAGNULO & PARTNERS Photography by Barbara Pau

T

he consolidated collaboration between the architecture and interior design studio Spagnulo & Partners and the Italian hotel group Baglioni Hotels & Resorts continues to go from strength to strength. The studio has designed the interiors of the latest jewel in the Baglioni Collection, Baglioni Resort Sardinia, a 5 star boutique resort and one of The Leading Hotels of the World, located in the marine reserve of Tavolara, on the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, just north of San Teodoro.

The north-eastern coast of Sardinia, with its colours, fragrances and strong winds forge a sensorial relationship with the place and a complex experience between man and nature. Here, the senses are constantly stimulated, enhancing the attention for details and materials.

These, it must be said, have to be “intelligent”, not only to give an added value to performance but also to enhance espressivity. Lights, sounds, smells and colours themselves become capable of bestowing psychological as well as physical comfort. Sardinia is a place steeped in a rich, century-long culture of materials. It is not simply a question of craftsmanship and know-how, it is a profound expression of cultural belonging. The island, for centuries a place where relations outside the island were few and far between, has developed its own characteristic form of arts and crafts, as well as craftsmen with their unique and special characters. This heritage is almost uncontaminated, and is, for this reason, an invaluable factor in understanding the spirit of the place. The analysis and development of these two key themes made up the framework for Spagnulo & Partners’ Interior Design project for the Baglioni Resort in Sardinia. The resort is immersed in a bay in front of one of the island’s most stunning beaches, Lu Impostu, with the island of Tavolara in the background, in direct contact with the strong, characteristic elements of Sardinian nature, reflected in many of the architectural choices of the project: the granite of the building’s façades, the broken up stone boundaries in Orosei stone, the pastel green and blue shades of the main walls which can be found in the common areas, the limestone of the bedroom walls. The architecture, the materials and the colours reflect the soul of their setting and describe, through a tactile and

56

57

58

59

visual experience, a profound dialogue with the surrounding nature. Any interior design project requires contact with a new and complex world, one made up of traditions, customs and craftsmanship which, just like language, music and literature, determine a specific cultural identity. Spagnulo & Partners discovered a number of traditions and reinterpreted them in a contemporary key, which subsequently made up up the essence of the Interior Design project. The tradition of fabrics: woven fabrics and rugs by Mariatonia Urru, mainly using the traditional Sardinian Pibiones technique or the Piana technique. Fabrics which showcase traditional designs, reinterpreted in colour and design, have been used for the beds’ headboards, in the rugs found in the common areas and in the bedrooms, in the cushions, in the upholstery and in the curtains. The main colours featured in the project - green, blue, ochre and brick red – are showcased in a number of different geometric patterns and textures, giving a distinct character to the 78 bedrooms and suites, as well as to the main public areas The tradition of ceramics and pottery: the hand made pottery and ceramic art by Walter Usai, a “strexiaiu” craftsman (literally meaning tableware maker) who, to this day, carries on a pottery tradition started in 1850, first by his grandfather and then by his father. The clay around the Assemini area has always been outstanding and for this reason has favoured the growth of this intense tradition of the art of the lathe. In the bedrooms, just as in the common areas there are Asseminese jugs and pouring vessels, ring shaped urns in natural, non-toxic enamels coloured green, white, red and orange. The tradition of artisan terracotta: a traditional craft which a local company, Cerasarda, continues to produce in the region.

These hand-enamelled terracotta inlays in bleached oak can be found in the bedrooms. They are a perfect combination between modern design and traditional style thanks to the depth of the blue, green and red coloured enamels. Sardinia, its territory, its colours, its traditions but also its images. The project created by Spagnulo & Partners includes a strong use of photographed images,

created and chosen together with Alidem, based in Milan. They can be found in the lobby, in the restaurants as well as in the rooms themselves, at times arranged on full-height panels which reveal the true dramatic nature of the Sardinian landscape and its past through details, materials and impressions.

Great importance has also been given to the external areas, the true focus of life at the Resort. The areas reveal great precision and accuracy from the point of view of materials and colour choices, in seamless harmony with the philosophies reflected within the interiors and in the architectural materials.

The poolside area is furnished with wood and cane structures, real living spaces with armchairs and sun-loungers in teak wood.

Cushions, fabrics and rugs all reflect the traditional and chromatic references of the interiors. The Lounge Terrace is another charming spot in the Resort. It is situated on the flat rooftop of the Bar, a truly magnificent position

from which you can enjoy breathtaking sea views. Here, too, the rugs and the coloured fabrics together with the ceramics of the tables and the stone flooring all reflect the value the project has given to identity. In addition, a contemporary flair is added by the sofas, the armchairs and the lamps, together with the minimalist design of the stone bar counter in Orosei stone and corten iron, which through a slit in its front reveals a truly scenographic effect: the jagged line of the rocks of Tavolara. Baglioni Resort Sardinia is the most recent project developed by the studio Spagnulo & Partners for Baglioni Hotels & Resorts: a well-consolidated 15 year-long collaboration which has seen the studio and the hotel group join forces on some of their most iconic structures including Baglioni Hotel Carlton Milano, Baglioni Hotel Londra, Baglioni Hotel Regina Roma, La Villa Gallici Aix en Provence and Baglioni Hotel Luna Venezia (from the architects’ project description).

he NM Bodecker Foundation was established in 2017 by Sandy Bodecker to provide creative communities with a dynamic mix of in-person spaces for workshops, gathering, and collaboration. Housed in a collection of repurposed 1950s-era warehouses and a former parking lot in northwest Portland, the Foundation occupies what was originally conceived as Bodecker’s creative home. Bodecker was inspired by the sense of discovery that comes from the journey and of seeing things in new ways; his analog was that of a labyrinth and the building is an embodiment of that idea.

The warehouses were combined, integrated, and reworked into a shifting mix of exterior and interior environments.

Taking a cue from Gordon Matta Clark’s “Building Cuts,” the warehouses were cut into and modified while retaining the memory of their historic boundaries. Peeling back the roof of one and slicing the other, the warehouses were remixed and fused together with a new central core building. The 7,769-square-foot multi-story solution blends the past with the future through the interplay of interior spaces including living areas, as well as a series of informal performance spaces, a state-of-the-art recording

studio, and an indoor skate park. The build-out includes living roofs and nearly 2,000-square-feet of outdoor yards—a third of the site kept as green space to manage stormwater and connect the complex with the natural world. From the street, the rectangular warehouse forms are balanced with complex prismatic forms to create a rich visual composition.

Following Bodecker’s passing in 2018, the Foundation fully occupied the building, embracing the unique mix of spaces and making them available to emerging artists

72

and performers, like-minded organizations, and the collaborative creative community. One of Bodecker’s goal was to create an environment that inspires openness to explore, learn and find the unlimited curiosity you once had when you were a kid. The collage of activities intersect and overlap to inspire a passion for collection, making, and playing. By developing the program around these ideas, the new multi-story central structure emerged as the functional core of the foundation. The primary spaces open to each other at the ground floor with places to

make art, record music, perform, and skate. The living spaces for the artist-in-residence program are stacked above on the second and third floors, overlooking but still connected to the activity below. Building materials range from repurposed elements preserved from demolition to surprising contemporary finishes. New-built areas within the complex are contemporary in aesthetic, providing a yin-yang vibe when viewed against the time-worn patina of the vintage elements. Interior finishes throughout embrace color and texture—exposed wood trusses, mixed

carpet patterns, steel and unfinished plywood wall cladding, and custom lighting—further enhancing the spatial dynamism. Materials were selected for their internal integrity, their ability to age naturally, and convey the craft of those who made them. At its core, the building design aims to inspire action and activity. The unique environment seeks to create meaningful engagement (both in-person and virtual). Open and creative dialogue is at the heart of why the Bodecker Foundation was established (from the project report). H

ininfarina nnounced its first partnership with Branson Developments–– Light Towers Design by Pininfarina.

The forthcoming landmark residential condominium complex marks the firm’s first branded residential vertical project in Mexico; located in the vibrant, metropolitan city of Mérida along the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Light Towers is designed to set a new standard for urban living and serve as a catalyst for real estate development in the region, which is known for being one of the safest places to live in the Americas.

“Bringing together our mission of translating human-centric values into beautiful design with Branson Developments’ commitment to sustainable and contextually driven communities, we are thrilled to be partnered on such an exciting project as Light Towers,” says Samuele Sordi, Chief Architect at Pininfarina.

“Arriving in Mérida at a pivotal moment in its growth, we look forward to leading the way with an example of how a multidisciplinary design approach can create a thoughtful balance between urban density and sprawl as the city continues to evolve.”

Inspired by Mérida’s rich history, culture, and food scene, Light Towers will pioneer the future of design and development for the rapidly growing city, informed by a transgenerational spirit that guided Pininfarina’s philosophy for the project’s design concept. The structure will consist of two distinct buildings rising 15 and 17 floors high, connected by a five-story base to form a v-shape. Anchoring the heart of Pininfarina’s concept, a green valley fills the open-air core of the vertical community extending upward from the base

79

of the structure––embracing the development’s Mexican roots and symbolizing the path ahead; a nod to new ideas, fresh perspectives, and hope for future generations.

Deeply rooted in a commitment to wellbeing, the green valley will consist of strategically stacked, private terraces designed to blur the lines of the built environment and nature to curate a genuine connection between residents and the outdoors. Each of Light Towers’ 122 modular condominiums––ranging from two- and three-bedroom units to four- and five-bedroom penthouses––will feature its own terrace designed to act as an extension of the living room and emphasize the idea of living a greener life. These “skyvillas” integrate nature as a core lifestyle element; depending on the positioning around the biophilic core, between 25% and 75% of square feet per unit will be allocated to this greenspace.

Further embracing the “green lifestyle” concept, resident amenity spaces will include a second-floor deck designed to foster a sense of community by encouraging residents to come together outdoors––complete with an al fresco gathering and coworking space and swimming pool, as well as over 3,000-square-feet of space dedicated specifically to physical wellbeing including a spa, gym, and children’s play area. Social activities will also be encouraged on the seventh and eighth floors, where future residents will find rentable party and cinema rooms, a shared kitchen space, and two bars––one designed for late-day cocktails and the other for fresh-made juices and teas to boost energy and contribute to a healthy wellbeing. Situated on either side of a shared terrace, the two venues are intended to further represent Pininfarina’s concept of Mexico’s two juxtaposing souls.

Interiors will utilize a bright, colorful palette throughout, drawing from the tonality of the local environment and hues reminiscent of cultural traditions. Regionally sourced materials, including plaster and concrete, will be used to reduce the environmental impact of construction and support the local economy. “Light Towers Design by Pininfarina is located in a vibrant and beautiful area of Mérida; we at Branson Developments are very excited to be partnering with Pininfa-

80

rina to develop a residential project that reflects the future of residential living in our city while honoring our heritage. We are extremely proud to be building this iconic landmark in Yucatan,” says Juan Soto, Projects Director of Branson Developments. This vision for Light Towers will be underscored by its strategic positioning just North of the city center––located not far from the forthcoming new American consulate building amidst what is recognized as the second safest city in the Americas. Light Towers will boast walking distance in proximity to shopping centers, cinemas, schools, universities, restaurants, supermarkets, and easy access to the beach of Progreso, Yucatan. Further considerations for the community include the building’s foundation––the base of Light Towers’ two-tower composition will be entirely permeable, both for the surrounding neighborhood and the environment. This open and welcoming streetscape energy is intended to flow through the building’s main lobby to its naturally ventilated parking garage, which will also help fortify the infrastructure from potential natural weather hazards. The building is slated to break ground in July 2022, and construction will commence in August 2022. Once complete, Light Towers will be Pininfarina’s first branded residential towers in Mexico (from the architects’ project description). H

Diva is defined by simple, contemporary lines. The minimal and slender design of the metal structure and the simple, clean forms of the cushions prove its modernity and actuality as a product.

Link is a collection tables, chairs and bookcase. The modular bookcase system is with essential, pure forms.

The rounded forms of Perseo structure are highlighted by the linearity of the metal handles that

result in asymmetrical plays. The metal base with elliptical section in colour combination with the handles elegantly supports the structure, providing it with a light, informal appearance.

The harmonious Pandi design forms an aesthetic play on a combination of materials, between the leather that follows the curve of the enveloping backrest that transforms itself into an armrest and the couture fabric of the cushions.

n the elegant Flaminio district in Rome, a few steps from the MAXXI Museum and the National Gallery of Modern Art, emerging architecture and interior design studio 02A has reimagined the interior of a 130 sqm apartment, on the ground floor of a noble building from the early Twentieth century. Located between the greenery of the East bank of the Tiber river and the urban vegetation of the Parioli Mountains, the project gives rise to a dynamic space, open to the outside thanks to a generous garden. The traditional apartment was bought by the diplomat Alfonso Tagliaferri, who was stateless for work, but in search of his first private home, to which he could return at the end of each mission. “The client has given us a wider opportunity to reflect on the concept of home as a place of belonging, even more if not lived in on a daily basis. The mental construction of the project was a journey into his memory and aspirations, through a constant and free dialogue, in search of useful traces to define a thread that guided and contained every choice, every missed connection, every digression, translating the experience into architecture”, says Marco Rulli, co-founder of the Rome-based studio together with Thomas Grossi.

The new rooms of the apartment reflect the renewed use, no longer a bourgeois family nest but the residence of a diplomat, with totally different social rhythms and needs. Inside, one can stroll among relics and handicrafts from many countries, including South Africa and the Philippines. The main focus of the project is the sleeping area, a large room conceived as a suite with an open space bathroom characterized by a volume with a smoked mirror surface that expands the domestic landscape and gives maximum diffusion to the natural light coming from the three large windows arranged on the South-West side. The main entrance opens onto the living area, where a glass wall cuts through the large decorative plaster barrel vaults of the living room and kitchen, painted in Little Greene’s Tuscan Red. The kitchen is characterized by white and ocher yellow wall units that complement the decorative motifs of the 20x20 grit floor, and by the brushed granite surfaces of the central island and the worktop.

A restored solid oak parquet floor lines the eclectic lounge, where Bretagne di Frau leather sofas and French Art Deco armchairs from the 1940s interact with an ancient Venetian lantern, and with photographs and sculptures on the walls.

Streams of natural light illuminate the environment and denote the opening of the French window towards the large private garden, with direct access from the Tiber, and furnished with deck chairs, shielding vines, lush Monstera Deliciosa and the shade of a large palm tree. An arched passage with a custom-made bookcase leads to a more intimate dining area. Here, neutral tones on the walls provide a theatrical backdrop to the family’s antique furniture and works of art (tapestry by Igshaan Adams; Classroom by Pascale Marthine Tayou), while the Illan birch pendant lamp by Luceplan rests on a glass-surface table with vintage ‘50s chairs in a continuous dialogue between ancient, modern and contemporary. A curved wall marks the entrance to the most private area of the house. On the one hand, the service bathroom with its suspended ceramic tub and black marble surfaces resembles a cabinet of curiosities wrapped in Palm Jungle wallpaper by Cole & Son and the sinuous shapes of shells, natural figures, travel treasures and handcrafted Vienna straw sconce. On the other hand, the studio with two souls: that which is dedicated to cine matographic art with upholstered vintage theater chairs (projector and motorized cloth hidden in the ceiling) and the other for writing and smart work moments with the Helsinki desk by Desalto and the iconic Serbelloni armchair designed by Vico Magistretti for De Padova. A cobalt blue velvet curtain reveals the heart of the apartment: the bedroom with a private en suite bathroom divided into several spaces. The horizon of warm colors of Ukiyo wallpaper by Nobilis on the doors of the made-to-measure wardrobe blends with the immaterial cubic volume that hides the bathroom services.

“We tried to play with the concept of time, we didn’t want a “finished” house, we were interested in giving space to the unfinished, to the imperfection that would contain the vital force of curiosity”, say the architects.

2A is an Italian architecture and interior design studio based in Rome. Founded in 2014 from the collaboration between architects Thomas Grossi and Marco Rulli, the studio is united by the idea of​​ a broader architectural design, in which the term “project” represents the fulcrum and synthesis of several disciplinary fields.

This philosophical approach is especially relevant when it comes to home.

Each intervention implies a process of truly getting to know the clients, and of interpreting both their practical needs and interior aspirations.

The studio’s design method is based on a constant and passionate investigation into compositional, functional and technological responses to our human need to inhabit a space capable of contributing to our own happiness.

02A has completed numerous private residential interiors in the capital and shares its projects through surreal images, videos and descriptions that not only reveal the final result but also fragments of the path traveled.

FROM REFUGEE TO INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS WOMAN AND GLOBAL REAL ESTATE EXPERT:

MOLLY FAULKNER, CEO OF FALCON PHOENIX GROUP A daughter of an immigrant father from Cambodia, Molly is a Khmer Rouge “The Killing Fields” survivor who was very fortunate to be saved by UNICEF as a Refugee and brought to America in the 1980’s.

Molly came into the real estate industry at the toughest time of the nation’s history during September 11. At that time, she worked at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Companies. Like many others, Molly was laid off, without a job and the nation in mourning. One day, she saw in the newspaper a little black and white advertisement that says, “we train loan officers”. She went for an interview and the job only pays a commission IF she sells, and she never worked in sales before; but Molly accepted the challenge by making cold calls every day to offer her services. The office also had a real estate division, she says “One day I received a call from an elderly mother from Thailand that needed my help with her daughter’s home in pre-foreclosure. I took on the challenge and found that I loved working with real estate’s practices more than lending, not to mention I excelled in helping families keep their home.” With the commissions received, Molly hired a real estate attorney to become certified in distressed, foreclosure, estate & probate sales. The rest is history.

It has been 16 years since that tumultuous time.

Molly came from the Ritz-Carlton Companies back-

ground of exceptional service, and she has carried those values throughout her real estate career and says “I am fortunate to be my own boss working on a Global scale. Today, I work with world class developers in different continents. You could say, I’m the largest woman-owned project marketing firm in the world”. Molly specializes in Life Style Living, Luxury Residences and International Golden Visa by investment programs.

In 2015 Molly decided to work with commercial real estates and went to Cornell to complete her hotel real estate investments and asset management program. This was a great foundation for her and it helped to propel her forward; Molly now works with various niche of hotel assets and investments, ranging from luxury boutique hotels to world class resorts in sales, acquisitions, and developments worldwide.

In California, Molly works with the Asian Real Estate Association of America, a non-profit professional organization and the voice serving the Asian American Pacific Islander community by making substantial impacts and positive changes at the local, regional, and national level for AAPIs and the community.

Molly kick starts 2022 with new blessings, new ventures, and adventures. Molly is working with the

The blockchain and decentralization are also the underlying concepts behind Web3 — the next-level internet. It’s technologically advanced, blending the highest levels of augmented and virtual reality, but also built around the concept of decentralization. With no governing body, the power of the internet is in the hands of the users and builders. You see this firsthand in the Metaverse.

Imagine buying a home on the other side of the globe, and having the ability to put on VR goggles and walk through the space, see the view from the windows, maybe even customize it, furnish it, decorate it. The possibilities are limited only by our imagination. There is already technology that can scan a building and replicate it as a file in the metaverse. This is truly global real estate.

The Metaverse, or really metaverses, since there are many, are immersive, 3D versions of the internet, perhaps best described as VR meets the internet. They incorporate the ability to create your own avatar, interact with others in a multi-user environment, and eventually take your personal digital assets with you from one environment to the next.

How this develops and is monetized is still TBD, but it will surely continue to gain traction as people and companies develop new use cases in the space.

A sure sign that someone doesn’t fully understand it is a generally dismissive attitude towards “crypto.” You now know that crypto isn’t just one thing.

It’s complex. It isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a technology and it’s a philosophy.

You don’t have to become an expert on all or even any aspect of this digital revolution, but understanding the basic key concepts will put you in the game and may encourage you to explore more.

hen the owner of this wonderful duplex contacted us, we felt that we had to create a story that represented her aesthetic and cultural needs, together with a cosmopolitan lifestyle. At the same time we decided to give lightness to the interior design, enhancing the spectacular views.

The first premise was to rethink the organization of the spaces and create an art collection that represented the owner’s taste. We defined that the large entrance hall, with its long and double height that runs through and connects the main rooms, would go from being the backyard of the apartment to being its heart and characteristic. Year after year we intervene each of the spaces annexed to it.

The elevator hall, as an anteroom, was patinated dark to receive the lighting work of Javier Toro Blum. Then the large hall with walls in different colors, large paintings, a bronze lamp by Herve Van der Straeten, ceramics by Andrea Arrivillaga installed on the floor, was transformed into a gallery that received works by both established and emerging Chilean artists, as well as some international referents.

We then covered the design of the large terrace that opens onto the spectacular views of the Andes Mountains. These were part of a careful design where we selected Kettal in a palette of pinks, grays and terracottas that connect with the telluric landscape of Chile, without losing sophistication. Together with landscape designer Macarena Calvo of

Calvo y Elgueta, we designed a low-water-use container garden that stays green all year round.

Moroccan Bambu rugs and leather were chosen for the desk and dining room. The living room was the last space to be completely remodeled. The neutral palette contrasts with the rest of the rooms, providing a visual break and a hinge effect with the desk, terrace, dining room and hall. It was essential for the furniture to float, as it is a place of passage and living. Gio Ponti’s D.154.2 chairs, and Minotti sofa, the oval coffee table, are part of this play of curves. Only the George Smith sofa produces solidity under the oil painting by Alejandro Corujeira, hung on the gray patina wall. The carpet, side tables and others, were commissioned based on the silver gray palette, inviting to the contemplation of the landscape. The master bedroom has color and material continuity with the hall. Minimalist in terms of furniture, it is enriched with textures, tapestries, curtains, wool and linens, which provide the necessary warmth.

As a highlight, the Robert Indiana upholstery, used as a carpet (from the architect’s project description). H

Paola Gutiérrez spent most of her childhood in northern Chile, as she relates, “There I discovered a thousand colors in the desert, where there seemed to be nothing. Growing up in that infinite geography taught me to imagine without limits, and as an only child until I was 6 years old, I enjoyed drawing, painting and somehow translating all those textures and colors that surrounded me. Today I feel that I am still doing some of the same.” (portrait by Gonzalo Romero).

INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY SHOW DUBAI

The 2022 edition of the International Property Show marks the 18th year for this ultimate sales platform for local and international real estate markets.

Even in the midst of the Covid pandemic, this event was successfully hosted from the 24 - 26 of March, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

“The three-day show hosted global investors and real estate professionals and marked the beginning of a new chapter for the real estate sector when the world is witnessing a qualitative shift towards flexibility, innovation and digital transformation. The event was an effective platform to stimulate the growth of the real estate sector at the local and global levels, especially at a time when most real estate services have become digital.”

One of the highlights of the opening ceremony was the signing of a landmark Memorandum of Under-

standing (MoU) between the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and National Association of Realtors (NAR), which was followed by presentations from Miami Association of Realtors, Florida Realtors, and Orlando Regional Realtor Association.

The International Property show hosted International Real Estate Federation FIABCI Emirates Inauguration at the Armani Hotel on 25th March 2022 making this a historic event.

The Exhibition The 2022 edition of the International Property Show’s exhibition was filled with 90+ exhibitors from 40 countries. On exhibition, the countries showcased various real estate projects ranging from residential, commercial, industrial, raw land, and special use.

Demand for real estate properties has significantly increased beyond the supply in the current market, and this made the event a perfect time and platform where exclusive deals to end-users and investors were offered. IPS exhibition served a valuable service by showcasing developers and giving them the opportunity to display and create awareness about their projects.

Prospective property buyers had a good overview of available options across all locations and asset classes. With banks and financial institutions in attendance, visitors had the opportunity to make a firm purchase decision on the spot and complete the transaction under one roof.

Ten Day program The program was for the “Invest in Dubai Trade Mission” delegates and it started with attending IPS, followed by a trip to Sharjah and Abu Dhabi which included a site visit to the developers, Eagle Hills, and Aldar Properties respectively. During the visits, the delegates were taken on cultural tours to various destinations such as the Grand Mosque and local street market. In Abu Dhabi we visited three different sites, all by Aldar Properties. Furthermore, delegates attended the International Humanitarian Summit and the Annual Investment Meeting at Dubai Expo 2020.

Global Real Estate Collective Booth Our Team and diverse delegation had a collaborative booth The Global Real Estate Collective which is an international partnership of like-minded professionals servicing investors, buyers, sellers, and developers across borders and around the globe.

We utilize our deep knowledge, expertise, and extensive private network to excel at traditional marketing, but we are also experts at forward-thinking technologies.

fter finishing his 1959 sculpture “Last Ladder”—a beam of reclaimed timber with pockets carved into it—the artist Carl Andre reflected ruefully on his work. “I realized the wood was better before I cut it than after,” he later said. “I did not improve it in any way.” Andre was commenting not on the limits of his talent but rather on the limits of human intervention itself, particularly when applied to natural artifacts. Can we really make nature better than it us? he implicitly asked. Maybe we should leave it alone—or intervene, if we must, with the lightest possible touch.

Andre’s ideas guided our work on the Muskoka Cottage, a retreat overlooking Lake Rosseau, part of a network of freshwater bodies adjacent to Georgian Bay, whose rocky coastline has inspired some of Canada’s most iconic painters. We wanted to create a place of respite from the intensity

of city life and also to build as sensitively as we could, complementing, but never overwhelming, the surrounding environment.

The building plan was deliberately simple—a pitched roof, an upper-level great room, and sleeping quarters below. We limited ourselves to two primary materials: granite, which we used for the hefty kitchen island and the carved sinks in the bathroom, and whitewashed Douglas fir, which appears in the ceilings, the millwork, and the wall cladding. The granite is coarse grained and hard.

It references the minerality of the site and imbues

the interiors with a sense of ruggedness. The Douglas fir offers tactility and warmth, and it connects the house with vernacular building traditions. We sourced both materials locally, sometimes extracting them from the property itself. The only imported product was the flooring made of limed Douglas fir, a centuries-old material beloved for its plank size and quality, which we got from a company in Denmark.

Our guiding ethos was warm minimalism—the interiors derive their elegance from a lack of visual clutter—but we also focused on balance. Light

juxtaposes darkness: the principal bedroom is awash in sunlight, while the en suite is deep and cavernous. Refined details coexist alongside rough surfaces, a nod to the Japanese design tradition of wabi-sabi. The kitchen island, for instance—a large, unfished block of granite—evokes the boulders and outcroppings one sees across the Canadian Shield, an expanse of bedrock that extends from the Great Lakes to the Arctic Coast. With its size and monumentality, the island offsets the expertly crafted cabinetry that surrounds it. We custom designed all the built-ins and furnishings:

the principal bed, constructed of stacked Douglas fir; the double-sided fireplace, which anchors the living room; and the exterior rock garden, reminiscent of a Japanese onsen (or hot spring), which has a sauna and outdoor shower.

Always, architecture defers to nature. Windows frame views in all directions, not only outward to the lake but also inward to the granite escarpment, which is every bit as exquisite as the dappled water. When walking through the house— passing from the entranceway to the great room, or from the dimly lit downstairs hallway to the

sundrenched bedrooms—one feels that one is journeying through an inlet in a rockface and emerging, dramatically, into sunlight.

In the en suite bathroom, the mirrors on either side of the sink have custom pivots, so they can be easily rotated out of the way, allowing unobstructed views onto the rock. This is a small detail but one that matters to us. In a building so fully immersed in its environment, vanity itself becomes an afterthought. Stillness, space, connection to nature—these are the best and most rarified luxuries imaginable (from the architect project description). H

ow to the water and small in stature, the home creates a platform from which to enjoy and engage with the surrounding waterway. A delicate galvanized steel structure supports generous roof planes and large areas of glazing that open to dramatic 180-degree views and blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The home’s interior program is thoughtfully arranged across two levels to maximize connections to the surrounding marine environment. On the lower level, an open living space combines dining, kitchen and office functions, with a hidden murphy bed for guests.

129

A glass corner and large sliding doors connect this space to exterior patios with rich Ipe wood decking, where large roof overhangs support year-round usability. The master suite on the upper-level frames prospect views to the water and creates a cosy lookout, set back into the home’s footprint, for a sense of refuge.

A roof deck and richly planted container garden continue the indoor/ outdoor porosity established on the ground level, extending the bedroom outside.

Water Cabin’s materiality draws inspiration from the weathered informality of a cabin. Lightly stained knotty western red cedar exterior siding will weather over time with minimal maintenance.

The siding’s thin, vertical wood slats are arranged in an irregular articulated pattern, recalling the random composition of trees in a forest. Durable, low-maintenance metal elements like galvanized

steel and flame-sprayed zinc nod to the demanding marine environment. These metals will complement the colour of the siding as it silvers with age, as well as the shifting blues and greys of the surrounding bay.

Wood continues to feature heavily throughout the home’s interior, with warm oak flooring and casework balanced by cooler silver and black metals. Russian birch plywood ceilings extend to exterior soffits, further breaking down barriers between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Knotty wood wall finishes in the main stairwell – which also acts as a lightwell to capture natural daylight – and master suite likewise weave exterior materials into the home’s interior. This informal, low-contrast interior supports a sense of the home as an oasis, despite its location in a bustling community. H

estled in a weather-beaten forest, this 2500-square-foot beach house creates a connection between the drama of the nearby ocean and the sense of sanctuary provided by the trees. Composed primarily of one large room, the house is light filled on the south side facing the ocean, and insular and protected on the other side, panelled in dark, rich wood. Glass walls open the living area to panoramic views of forest and ocean, while two fireplaces on either end anchor the space and provide a feeling of refuge. Cantilevering the house from its base provides space for ferns and beach salal to grow underneath the glass flooring that runs the perimeter of the main room, giving the sense of floating above the forest floor. The warm, natural tones of the interior take inspiration from Tofino’s

coastal forest and are punctuated by pieces from the owner’s striking contemporary art collection. Artworks were incorporated into the design of the home, with the fireplace walls specially designed to fit paintings

by Sam Francis and Diego Singh. A collection of furniture pieces design by Olson specifically for the house, including a walnut sofa built into the hearth of one fireplace, complete the interior environment.

Tight knot cedar ceilings in the living area and rich walnut casework in the open kitchen to the rear provide a sense of grounded warmth, which extends to the back bedroom with its dark teak panelling. Here, a vista out over an elevated deck and long reflecting pool offers a second opportunity for views of water and woods. This house was sited so carefully that only one tree had to be removed during construction, and a green rood above the garage continues the home’s natural integration. A nearly continuous line of clerestory windows above the living area required an innovative engineering system for the cantilevered roof, which is held up in only two places by the concrete chimneys. As a result, the roof appears to be floating above the house, which itself is much like a glass boat gliding over a sea of salal. H

y train had just arrived in Baden. And while I was still getting out of the wagon, the charm of Baden was already beginning to be felt ”. This is how the famous German writer Herman Hesse begins the story of his stay in the Swiss spa town back in 1924. Like Hesse, other prominent personalities including Montaigne, Goethe and Nietzsche, experienced the benefits of the therapeutic waters of Baden.

In fact, the attractive small town overlooking the Limmat River, close to the border to Germany and France, has been renowned since ancient times: it is said that five Roman legionaries discovered the springs, which were later called “Aquae Helveticae”.

145

FROM THE LEFT, IN THE WAYWARD: Inside the spa pool overlooks the river with large glass windows and also gets light from the rooftop; a ‘promenade’ has been created between the river and the new spa center for connecting the urban center with the park; a kind of ‘square’ connecting the changing rooms with the indoor swimming pools.

Today Baden enriches its prestige with a new thermal center, a precious architecture signed by distinguished Swiss architect Mario Botta. He too among those who were touched and inspired by the charm of the place.

“I immediately felt the magic of it”, recalls the designer. “Just consider that for 2000 years, without any interruption, the Baden springs have provided thermal waters at a constant temperature of 47 degrees: it’s something extraordinary.

It’s a generous ancestral gift that has nourished human well-being for centuries. With my project I wanted to pay homage to the unique history of this place and, at the same time, enhance the beauty of the landscape. Starting

from the river “.

Thus the new Fortyseven° (the name recalls the temperature of the spring waters) is divided into several buildings that accompany the course of the river, overlooking its basin. “I thought of the project as an open hand” explains Botta “whose fingers - four trapezoidal volumes of different sizes – reach out towards the river. The relationship with the river is not only visual (large windows alternate on the facade and on the roof) but also involves sound. In fact, from inside guests can hear the strength of the river, and experience the encounter between the spring waters of the thermal baths and those of the river, in a new

and articulated connection with the landscape”.

On the opposite side, a more linear solution is adopted to relate the building to the street which gives access to the structure: here, in fact, a long and narrow building incorporates the entrance, the reception and a bar-restaurant accessible to all. The new spa center is completed by a lower volume which houses the changing rooms, the offices and a double level greenhouse, a relax area for guests. This volume has been rotated with respect to the main complex to

follow the bend of the river and offer a better view. “I did not want to create a single building, but rather an articulated ‘citadel of well-being’, with internal spaces that host swimming pools, saunas, relax areas and with outdoor spaces that offer as many pools of water, lawns and viewpoints overlooking the river, on the village and on the mountains”, explains the architect.

The stone which covers the facades gives material and visual uniformity to the different volumes that make up the spa complex. “I wanted

149

to put a ‘piece’ of land on the façades to remind us that it is from there, from the earth, that the water gushes out” architect Botta points out. “Also, natural stone is beautiful, resistant, ductile and changes with the light. But, above all, the stone gives the building a gravity, a weight that anchors it to the earth, reminding that architecture is a sign of man in the landscape, a sign that must last sss to protect us and preserve the extraordinary value of memory “.

Botta’s project also extends to the community, stimulating new uses of the territory and recovering ancient traditions. In agreement with the municipality of Baden, a ‘promenade’ has been created that runs between the river and the new spa center up to the city park.

Here, public pools dot the route, offering everyone, at all hours of the day and night, the opportunity to dive into the therapeutic waters of Baden: a very common ritual in the past (the ruin of a swimming pool dating back to the Roman is still accessible to the public in the basement of the baths), but then completely abandoned. Until today. H

assage to the 5-star category and a new banner: Borgo Scopeto, the elegant relais in the lands of Chianti Classico, a few kilometers from the city of Siena, reopened in style on April 1st and changed its name to Borgo Scopeto Wine & Country Relais. “It was an almost natural evolution - explains Alessandra Angelini, who supports her mother Elisabetta Gnudi in running the Borgo - which we have come to by following our innate vocation for authentic Tuscan hospitality of the highest level.

We have worked hard in recent months to maximize our hospitality standards and offer our guests even higher service and attention. The path of Borgo Scopeto thus evolves with the transformation into a 5-star Wine & Country Relais. “ The upgrade from 4-star superior to 5-star establishes the excellence of the services

Below, a rare “Roccolo”, a beautiful seventeenth-century garden.

and the structure that will reopen to tourists with many new features to characterize the 2022 season. Borgo Scopeto Wine & Country Relais is a dream destination immersed in the beauty of the Tuscan landscape where nature, rich food and wine and well-being are the ingredients for an unforgettable stay. The Borgo, in fact, is located in a strategic position both for those who love art and culture, but prefer to stay away from the bustle of the city, and for those looking for a holiday in contact with nature. Just 10 km from the Relais, in fact, is the splendid city of Siena which, in addition to being a Unesco Intangible World Heritage Site, is also a totally carbon neutral province since 2011. From this year, the guests of Borgo Scopeto will have access to a shuttle to reach the historic center of the city. The more adventurous can instead rent a Vespa or get on

a mountain bike and set off to discover the small villages that dot the area: enclosed in the hills of Chianti Classico and surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, Borgo Scopeto is the ideal base for a holiday to discover the Sienese. Luxury also finds space in unspoiled nature: the charm of the Relais also lies in its extremely refined furnishings and interior design of the rooms, recently renovated to emphasize the country-chic style. New this year is the Master Suite with two bedrooms, a private study and a large living room for those who do not want to give up comfort. “Food and wine tastings with tours in our owned cellars - continues Alessandra Angelini - and thematic Wine Hour, greater attention to psycho-physical well-being with a focus on wine therapy and the products of our company inside the Borgo Scopeto Relax Spa, as well as lessons

of yoga and meditation and the opportunity to train outdoors with the special outdoor gym.

Finally, new gourmet experiences at the La Tinaia Restaurant, where the quality of the local products is enhanced by the creativity of our Chef Pietro Fortunati “. The Wine & Country Relais is in fact an oasis of peace for the mind and pleasure for the palate where you can enjoy a 360-degree food and wine experience. The La Tinaia restaurant, inside the Borgo, is led by the Executive Chef Pietro Fortunati and offers refined and creative cuisine that has as its undisputed protagonists the great raw materials of the territory told in modern dishes such as in the Homemade Pici with Borgonero wine and Cinta Sienese with Pecorino cheese fondant that has become a real icon dish of the chef. Borgo Bistrot is instead the proposal for lunch, with

more informal dishes based on vegetables from the garden, gourmet burgers, focaccias and traditional Sienese first courses. The rich menu is accompanied by a fine selection of self-produced labels, from Chianti Classico and Borgonero, Supertuscan from Borgo Scopeto winery, to the famous Brunello di Montalcino of Altesino and Caparzo wineries. The menu of the 2022 season is enriched by homemade desserts, bread and focaccia thanks to the new pastry laboratory inside the structure which will offer fresh and fragrant leavened products every day. For a more romantic lunch, a picnic is the ideal experience. A special moment in the open air, among the gardens or the fields of lavender and helichrysum of the Borgo, in an intimate atmosphere, among soft pillows and retro-style blankets: the restaurant will provide a gourmet basket with the proposals of the chef Fortunati and a bottle of wine, or Champagne or a matching cocktail.

Those who want to indulge in a moment of absolute well-being can indulge in the pampering of Borgo Scopeto Relax, the elegant and intimate SPA that offers a wide range of wine therapy treatments based on natural products and obtained from grapes, olive trees and year also from honey and lavender. The new SPA menu includes massages and wellness rituals designed for those who have to face a long journey and need to recover their energy. At guests’ disposal sauna, whirlpool, emotional showers and aromatic garden; and if you want to extend your relaxation, you can organize an aperitif inside the Spa. Sports enthusiasts, in addition to walks in the countryside, can train outdoors thanks to the outdoor fitness equipment. On the other hand, those who do not want to give up meditation can book yoga lessons: an original way to rediscover their psycho-physical balance in the Tuscan hills. Another fundamental aspect that has always distinguished the philosophy of the Gnudi Angelini family is the love for the territory that led Borgo Scopeto Wine & Country Relais to receive the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Certification on controlling the impact of activities on the territory. Still on the subject of sustainability, the Relais has adopted a series of measures to protect the environment by limiting CO2 emissions: a photovoltaic system with solar panels heats the pool water. The apiary not only provides honey for the Borgo but also preserves the local biodiversity and favors the organic management of the vineyards. In addition, the selection of vegetables and herbs in the garden inside the Borgo has been expanded with the addition of a strawberry, for all other raw materials the restaurant is sourced from local producers.

n Lermoos, one of the oldest skiing areas in Tirol, just an 80-km drive from Innsbruck. a new wellness area has been added to the renowned Mohr Life Resort.

Designed by noa* network of architecture, it’s a glass and concrete structure laid down on a gentle slope below the hotel, which enjoys a unique view across the wide Ehrwalder Becken valley, with its pastures, old farmhouses and barns: an impressive scenario dominated by the imposing 3,000 metres of the Zugspitze mountain – which represents a geographical border between Austria and Germany.

As architect Christian Rottensteiner, partner at noa*, explains “for us, the majestic and powerful presence of the mountain was a

kind of test bench. The Zugspitze, with its beauty, strength, and formal complexity, was our inspiration and the project’s protagonist.

The new wellness area is conceived as a theatre, an ideal location to admire that extraordinary masterpiece”.

The new Spa stretches out across 600 sqm and features a roofed infrastructure built from scratch and an outdoor area with a swimming pool. The covered building is sober and light. It has been designed as an aggregation of simple shapes: a grid of glass cubes placed across the two levels of the structure.

The use of a reflective glass surface delivers an unexpected, scenic effect: the different shapes virtually fade into the background and become a ‘screen’ mirroring the gargan-

While outside the structure is defined by clear lines and stark shapes, inside it becomes softer and enveloping, embracing you once you get into the building. The tension created by the contrast between indoor and outdoor enriches the building both aesthetically and formally.

The relaxation areas look like theatre stages with a view across the mountain. Every ‘booth’ includes two deckchairs featuring different designs: open, spacious areas with huge swings hanging from the ceiling enshrouded by drapery or metal cones framing the mountain alternate with closed balconies deliver-

The ground floor also features a private lounge; a lobby and bar for refreshments; a Spa and scenic sauna for approximately 20 people featuring a mini bistro reminiscent of cinema halls, as well as changing booths and showers. A scenic spiral staircase pinpoints the centre of the building and takes to the first floor where 10 symmetrical chill-out ‘stages’ are available.

The swimming pool represents the natural extension of the wellness area. It extends into the open and features chill-out areas boasting different sensorial experiences. Six “island boxes” dot the water basin, reflecting the structure overlooking the pool. H

The carpets and rugs that the company designs and produces are the stars of the furnishing of many super luxury yachts and the major Italian and foreign shipyards as well as the fiercest designers. The most exigent shipowners race to get the rigorously handmade productions, carried out with great technical and aesthetic know-how. As Vincenzo Solenne, founder and CEO of the Brianza based company that has interests and activities all over the world, says: “It is a natural consequence to the strategic choice at the core of the brand since it was born: to pursue excellence with no ifs, ands or buts, almost regardless of the commercial relapses that are, of course crucially important. Having decided to operate in a specific market segment, this approach means to bet everything on “custom made”. A good choice that has allowed us to overcome the strict entry barriers to the luxury yachting world and, project after project, to position ourselves amongst the first three or four players in the field. It is our merit, but it is also due to our Italian
