fter a year of uncertainty, this 2021 promises to be a year of restart, of professional and personal growth, where the sentiment that will unite us once again will be Passion. Passion for our work and for design. Passion in doing more and amazing others with our creations. Producers of dreams and design, once again we will be able to stand out and bring our Italian character to the world. HOME Italia has not lost sight of any of these dreams, keeping on meeting the needs of its customers even remotely: with video conferences and email intermediation we have been able to carry out all our projects and win as many. The increase of what we commonly call "Turnkey Projects" has allowed us to expand around the world, making us known not only through our network but also through our achievements. Progress is just around the corner, waiting to be presented. One of the most important projects for this 2021 will be the HOME Italia Resort project, in the Chinese market. It is a project that will see the
construction of a hotel chain named HOME Italia Resort, characterized by luxury and Made in Italy, which has always distinguished us over the years. Inside the structures we will create areas that will be used as showrooms that will allow the purchase of Italian furniture in the world, directly from our resorts. An innovation in the world of design that we hope will bring great results and a futuristic vision of what for us is now the classic showcase of furniture. This format will be reproposed in other markets around the world: first of them being the American one, where we are already well integrated and certain that our visions will be appreciated. This growth, in spite of such a difficult moment, makes us realize that what Home Italia offers fully satisfies the needs of our customers. Having a single interlocutor allows the optimization of time, ensures professionalism, savings and communication at international level. Project Contract & Communication: this is our world. This is HOME Italia.

ICE DESIGN HOTEL EVERY YEAR THE IGLOO VILLAGE MAGICALLY COMES TO LIFE ON THE SNOWS OF GSTAAD IN CANTON BERNA (SWITZERLAND) By Laura Ragazzola Photography by Lorenz Richard
W
hen temperature drops below zero, usually in November, works begins in the Saanersloch ski area over Gstaad to build the 13 rooms of the Igloo Village, which opens each year for tourists looking for a different mountain experience. The Village, a gigantic volume of ice, including a bar-restaurant and a wellness area with sauna and whirlpool, gets ready in few weeks. All the facilities are destined to water the alpine meadows in late spring, when the ice melts. The result is a minimal environmental impact, which is consistent with the Swiss vocation for green and responsible tourism. The igloos are composed of ice blocks arranged in subsequent descending spirals, starting from a circular base. An ice tunnel connects the outside with the rooms. Everything is made of ice: from the counter of the bar to the bathroom sink, to the bed. The internal temperature is constantly kept at zero degrees, but the 40 guests do not suffer from the cold during the night, as they are well protected by super-thermal sleeping bags and specially insulated beds. While in the suite room a whirlpool bath is available inside the igloo, all guests can also experience a bath in the open air, enjoying the sight of the white alpine landscape.

VISIONARY
BOARDING THE FUTURE NOW DESIGNED BY BIG AND KILO DESIGN, PEGASUS VEHICLES USE ‘HYPERLOOP’ TECHNOLOGY: THE FASTEST FORM OF LAND-BASED TRAVEL By Laura Ragazzola Photography: Courtesy Virgin Hyperloop
HERE: Pegasus pod has successfully completed its first test with passengers in the Nevada desert. LEFT: The interior of the vassel is custom-built with occupant safety and comfort in mind. RIGHT: The vehicle XP-2 (or Pegasus), designed by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group and Kilo Design, entering the tunnel.
A
n on-demand system that transports passengers at supersonic speed combining the immediacy of an elevator in a modern high-rise with the speed and distance of air travel”. This is how the danish architect Bjarke Ingels defines Pegasus pod, a prototype he designed with Kilo Design for Virgin Hyperloop. The American company is working on a high-speed technolo-
26
gy concept called ‘hyperloop’, a variant of the vacuum train. In the near future, the Pegasus pods may change the experience of moving across a country or even a continent into that of a subway system and push global travel into a more sustainable direction. In fact, after over a year of close collaboration, the first passengers trial test was successfully made in Nevada desert, where the company has
previously run over 400 tests in un-occupied pods. BIG and Kilo jointly designed the vehicle for this first use case, a 2-seater pod which was built to demonstrate that passengers can in fact safely travel in a Hyperloop vehicle. They have also defined the design language and characteristics for future Virgin Hyperloop vehicles, which will be larger and seat up to 28 passengers. Pegasus is conceived as a
pressurized vessel designed inside and out as a new and radically different vehicle typology. Since Hyperloop travel exists in a near vacuum environment, the need for aerodynamics was minimal. The design focuses on both the pressure vessel and sled, creating a seamless appearance that combines performance and human-centered characteristics. The 6 sqm interior is custom-built with the
occupant safety and comfort in mind, with the necessary safety equipment and controls built into the furniture. Pegasus promise is to provide a transportation system much more energy efficient than traditional rail transit. It’s engineered with magnetic levitation and avoids the drag of wheels, allowing for the maximum amount of speed to move the maximum number of passengers or cargo.

RETROSCENA: A COLOURFUL AND IRONIC APARTMENT THE MANIFESTO HOUSE WITH IRONIC AND BOLD POP SCENARIOS REVOLUTIONIZED BY LA MACCHINA STUDIO. A SURREAL SET WHERE REALITY AND FICTION COEXIST Photography by Paolo Fusco
I
n Rome, in the heart of the Appio Latino district a few steps from the Caffarella Park, the Rome-based duo La Macchina Studio www.lamacchinastudio.net transforms a 1950s apartment into a surreal set where reality and fiction coexist in a quasi-theatrical scene. Thanks to the multidisciplinary approach of its two founders, the studio celebrates the graphic sign, in a project that fuses architecture, theatre, music and illustration. In alignment with the wishes of the clients – a young couple – the architects have, on the one hand with the help of local craftsmen, recovered the pre-existing Venetian terrazzo flooring, while on the other they have completely disrupted the internal distribution to give way to a new storytelling. Kicking off with the insertion of new materials in correspondence with the traces of the original divisions, the living area is defined by a clear band in black and Botticino marble. The area along the corridor takes up the original design of the flooring with a pinkish binder with pozzolan powder, while the bedroom is tinged with the warm nuances of brick red microcement. The result is a combination of designs in different grains and colours that creates a “collage” effect, in contrast with the absolute white of the plastered walls.
MATERIALS: Venetian terrazzo floors. Microcement floors. Furniture and craftsmanship in lacquered wood. Ceramic mosaic and wall enamel coverings.

WITH COLOUR CONTRASTS, GRAPHIC MOTIFS AND UNEXPECTED INCURSIONS” Gianni Puri and Enrica Siracusa, founders of La Macchina Studio.
The apartment reveals itself longitudinally along the main wall, which represents the limit between private and rep-
resentative space and creates a landscape punctuated by three different elements. A white lacquered bridge wad-
robe hides a small study: the reader’s refuge, an intimate, silent space, isolated from the rest of the home. A grey-blue flush-to-the-wall door that seems drawn on, gives access to the salle de bain covered in white mosaic with contrasting joints, cut by an ogival passage which gives a glimpse the back wall in peacock-colored enamel and the free washbasin standing. Finally, an arched door in classic blue lacquered wood leads to the sleeping area with clear lines and a welcoming atmosphere. The door, with its wooden profile that juts out 70cm towards
the dining room, is the centerpiece of the living area and hides the kitchen furniture from view. The living room is the largest space in the house: a yellow curtain runs along the demolished partition, outlining the areas and drawing a soft border between the different functions. Retroscena offers a playful and fantastic vision of the house. Bold color choices and savvy design tricks give personality to the interiors, turning the spotlight on the inhabitants, protagonists of a theatrical – and architectural – piéce full of surprises.

esigned by Italian cross-disciplinary practice Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, Arte is an eleven-story luxury residential development that comprises 16 luxury condominium residences on the sunny oceanfront of Surfside, Florida. Its architecture addresses the urban streetscape–the leisurely character of hospitality and residential buildings along Collins Avenue–and the building’s exposure to the beach on the east side.
“The building and the setting are intrinsically connected to one another. We strive for this in every project, but rarely is it achieved to this extent.” – Antonio Citterio The requirements of the site area are balanced by the symmetrical stacking of the building components articulated around the central east-west axis. These elements are extruded along the length of the building and represent themselves in an almost identical way on the east elevation as they do on the west. Arte keeps the complexity of an urban building located in a historical context while providing wide and open views to the ocean. Protective yet fragile in nature, the architecture of the residences celebrate outdoor living in a uniquely Italian fashion.
in Miami-Dade & Surfside, exquisite materials such as travertine, bronze colored finishes and glass create a contemporary outlook for the new development. Located on the opposite side of Collins Avenue, the amenities and services building includes a spa, a tennis court and a clubhouse. The interaction between the urban context, the architecture, and nature formulates the interior spaces in a careful harmony of seclusion and transparency. With landscaped terraces that offer unobstructed views to the ocean, each residence is conceived as a private space that evokes a sense of understated and informal luxury. Arte draws a unified composition of textures in bronze, wood, stone and glass, carrying impressions of warm homeliness on the beachfront of Surfside, Miami.
“We created an approach to the building that emphasizes the very special relationship between the urban environment and the beach. Very few buildings in Miami do this.” – Patricia Viel Horizontally, the massing of the 105,500 sf (9,800 sqm) building is articulated by a series of terraces which create outdoor spaces while allowing for the building mass to elegantly ‘step back’ in a manner that aligns with the zoning requirements. Alluding to historical precedents

OCEAN DRIVE APARTMENT M W WOR KS
By mwworks Photography by Kevin Scott

T
he Ocean Drive apartment is a 6,112-square-foot, single level condominium unit within a new residential tower overlooking the Atlantic in Miami Beach. The clients are based in Seattle and travel often but have deep roots in South Florida and had been looking to return home. To accommodate a family of six, this down to the slab renovation combined two smaller units, unifying the floor plate, and creating a five bedroom home on the beach.
52
First conversations focused on the ever changing views from the space and the almost tactile quality of light at this latitude. The design grew out of a desire to amplify these phenomena and let the interior architecture be a canvas and a frame. To that end, a simple diagram was developed with a solid, shadowy service core with light elemental volumes arrayed around it. Closest to the bright eastern and western elevations, simple bedroom volumes are treated in
53
54
pale, sandy tones of hand troweled plaster reflecting natural light deep into the building core. The irregular surface of the plaster highlights the changing quality of light throughout the day and lends a softness to private spaces. Contrasting the clean, bright wall surfaces the public circulation core is clad in dark tropical hardwood with careful detailing emphasizing mass and craft. A dropped ceiling, to accommodate services supplied from the core, is expressed as a heavy wood raft creating a subtle compression when moving through the heart of the unit. Walls are expressed as solid wood slabs and the wide plank floors are matched. At the gathering spaces at the east and west ends of the unit large format concrete slab floor tiles reflect light onto the plaster ceilings above and provide a cool surface underfoot. A hierarchy of assemblies is established as the structural concrete deck slips over the glass window wall before stepping down as a plaster ceiling. Concrete columns throughout remain unfinished and provide another piece of context to the nature of the intervention and the layers of the larger building assembly. Sheer curtains animate the onshore breeze and woven textiles, baskets and floor coverings add a layer of softness. Amongst the neutral canvas, varied shades of blue, orange and red respond to the native flora and fauna of southern Florida. The project brief from the client was a to transform the raw shell into a home that would reference the casual style appropriate to the tro-
55
pical climate but at the same time have a thoughtfulness in craft and detailing that suggested a permanence not often typical of South Beach. Great care was taken to create clean lines and legible assemblies that deferred attention to the landscape. To achieve this abstraction, efforts were made to reduce visual noise associated with practical requirements. Pure, simple volumes stand in contrast to the richness of the wood aspects. Doors are expressed as heavy slabs allowing for integrated closer hardware concealed within. With pivot hardware controlling operation door pulls could be simplified and jambs omitted leaving the plaster volumes as clean elemental volumes. Graceful bent brass pulls and whistle knobs for privacy latches provide bright accents throughout, catching the light with a subtle patina revealing use over time. The client requested programmable low volt switching but it is controlled via analog toggles carefully set into the plaster walls reducing clutter. The client also requested concealed HVAC systems. To address this request and streamline air distribution in the core and bedrooms wall sections were employed as plenums and floor to ceiling perforated panels allow for ample air movement. In public spaces air is supplied between the ceiling and the raft over the circulation core sublimating necessary grilles.
Another design opportunity grew out of the client’s extensive travel in the middle east and their interest in mathematical patterns. In lieu of a more familiar tile mosaic, a bas relief feature was proposed for the headboard separating the master bedroom from the bath. Working with the craftspeople who would install it, we developed a pattern and a fabrication procedure to create an abstracted surface to catch the morning light. Perhaps the most rewarding exploration was in response to the client’s request to create an installation that might animate the entry sequence. Pursuing this led to the development of light feature that would imply an opening in the exterior wall admitting natural light to the entry. The ‘moyo’ wall was intended to reference vernacular masonry ventilation blocks washed with natural light from a perceived adjacent court. We developed and mocked up various concrete block shapes and configurations to test the way the light would play both on surfaces within the entry but also on the blocks themselves. Varied concrete mixes and interior geometry in each block lends an informality to a pattern that shifts and deforms across the assembly. Hidden above the ceiling a programmable lighting array tracks with the sun throughout the day and LED fixtures mimic the shifting light temperature. Overnight, the small powder room integrated into the space is illuminated with soft moonlight.

The guiding idea of the new Cantori collection is to create a contemporary container, where the metal details give the product its entire distinctive character. Wrought iron, a material that Cantori is famous for, has been rediscovered and redeveloped, and included in the latest projects as a radical and primeval work process forged by the smithy. In the Shanghai collection, the vertical structures are forged cylindrical elements finished with contrasting details, also made of metal but with a smoother finish. The Shanghai collection, with its sofas, including modular ones, armchairs, beds and coffee tables, combined with the bookcases, perfectly reflects the new Cantori style.
The new collection is the result of a research focused on the material and its spirit. In this context, material means an element that comes alive in man’s hands and through his ingenuity and, thanks to the collaboration between Cantori and Manzoni it acquires the “power of speech� to communicate with the user.
Table Mirage, chairs Shiba, sideboard and sofa Shanghai - Designer Maurizio Manzoni
The Mirage collection includes a series of items, ranging from the rectangular (or round) dining table to the chest of drawers. Their distinguishing feature is the combination of curved metal, forming the supporting circle, and the wood or marble top. The Shiba chair, so comfy it could almost be an armchair, is the perfect accompaniment to the table in the Mirage collection. The natural raw materials, fashionable colour shades and the minimalist design complement each other perfectly. The radical charm of these latest creations makes them the ideal choice for any elegant interior space, either separately or together.

he vessel’s soft and sleek lines reflect Baglietto’s traditional Italian style and, together with the lowered gunwales and side air vents, will embody the Seagull brand’s distinct aesthetic features. Francesco Paszkowski designed the warm and cozy interior in collaboration with architect Margherita Casprini. The layout, which is set up perfectly for charter with a total of six cabins, was developed through the wonderful cooperation between the Client, the Shipyard, and Francesco Paszkowski Design. A conversation area with custom made U-shaped sofas welcomes guests at the stern of the main deck. A transparent glass door opens onto a pleasant teak interior / exterior space, set up with an eclectic brass and mirror bar cabinet, which accompanies the guest in the main living room furnished with Minotti loose furniture on warm sand, ecru and anthracite colors with finishes in leather and bronze. A huge round dining table in lacquered oak and a bronzed mirror top dominates the central scene of this space, marked by the marble of the floor that interrupts the perimeter in soft light carpeting. Behind, a large modern-style artwall acts as a dividing wall and enriches the context. In the central lobby a panoramic glass and marble lift connects the three internal decks. The bow area is entirely dedicated to the family, dominated by the 70sqm owner’s suite, with a central bed, a walk-in closet and a separate office which can be accessed both from the cabin and from the corridor. The recalls in bronze pickled resin of the bedheads harmonize well with the warm tones of nubuck and the ice-colored leather of the chaise longue and of the Minotti puffs. The bathroom in honey-colored travertine and coffee brown marble takes up the whole width of the bow. 2 additional cabins de-
67
dicated to the most intimate guests complete the owner’s deck. On the lower deck, there are two additional guest cabins amidship, with the crew area next to the professional galley. The crew’s quarters include a crew mess room and six crew cabins all with ensuite heads. The captain’s cabin is on the upper deck next to the advanced wheelhouse, which has an integrated system provided by Telemar. One more guest cabin is located on the upper deck, which has a multifunctional space furnished with a sofa and two Pullman beds. This area can easily become a playroom or a massage room as required. The interior layout is complete with a living room, cinema room, conversation area and a gaming table. Outside, always on the upper deck, you can find a dining table for ten with a bar and relax area located aft. The sun deck, a Baglietto trademark, is astonishing: 150 square meters of al fresco space entirely devoted to gatherings and outdoor activities. The stern offers a vast sunbathing area with freestanding lounge beds and chairs by Tribu, while a relax area is located under the shadows of the roll bar. The two pop-up tables
68
can transform this space into a cozy dining spot. There is also aswimming pool and bar on this deck. The placement of the tender and toys in the foredeck allows more space to be dedicated to the Beach Club, which has double access. The Beach Club offers 55 square meters of space to relax with a steam shower, bar, and an additional area perfect for a gym and spa. The Beach Club faces the sea, ideal for those tranquil moments on the water. An amazing screen of about 6 square meters fills the wall in this area. The yacht is certified with the maximum class by Lloyd’s Register of Shipping and has received two Caterpillar engines 3516C DITA, which push her at a maximum speed of 17 knots and cruising speed of 12 knots. M/Y Severin*s, hull no. 10225, is an example of Baglietto’s flexibility and full use of its T-Line production. The shipyard is recognized all over the world for its Italian design and craftsmanship, as well as its cutting-edge technology and performance. It relies on a state-of-the-art, entirely renovated “boutique” shipyard, capable of ensuring an average production rate of three to four yachts per year.

erformance, driving pleasure, attention to quality and details, emotion: these are the emotive features combined within the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, thanks to innovative engineering solutions and a distinct design unique to shared Italian style and tradition. This motor yacht project, developed by The Italian Sea Group, started with several collaborative sessions with the contribution of Lamborghini’s Centro Stile and inspiration from the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37: the hybrid super sports car incorporating benchmarking new supercapacitor and materials science technologies, that
70
anticipates the future with an unmistakable design and completely customizable colour and details. Katia Bassi, Marketing and Communication Chief Executive Officer di Automobili Lamborghinisaid: ”This yacht represents the significance of creating a valuable partnership, at its best: our co-operation allows the essence of both organisations’ style and expertise to be transferred to different worlds, sharing in their diversity to interpret and add value to the final product in a new environment. If I had to imagine a Lamborghini on water, this would be my vision. I’m delighted to celebrate this successful collaboration.”

t Siusi in Sciliar, an ancient abandoned barn revives as a home. The project, realised by noa* - network of architecture, based in Bolzano (Italy), is strongly linked to the South Tyrolean tradition, nevertheless without failing to surprise thanks to the visionary and unexpected design of the interiors. Stefan Rier, founder of noa* with Lukas Rungger, restructured the house for himself and his family and managed to create a magical ambience, also inspired by memories of his childhood in the mountain. Consistently with the local style, the building outside has been entirely coated with a wooden grid, just as it is used for alpine barns. However, when you get inside, you find yourself in a quite unconventional, permeable and osmotic space. On the ground floor, a common area spreads out almost in a ‘piazza’, with a dining area to enjoy with friends, and a spacious kitchen to share cooking experiences. The rest of the house develops in a vertical way toward more private spaces, but instead of the classical rooms there are what can be described as ‘hanging boxes’, which are positioned at different heights and interconnected by stairs and walkways, giving the feeling of walking up a mountain path. The hallways also accommodate other essential areas such as the library and open bathrooms. The highest ‘box’ which features a sauna opens out to the splendid view of the Santner mountain. The revolutionary distribution of the interior spaces can be also noted from outside, thus creating a sort of counterpoint with the traditional facades. To the north the two boxes of the bedrooms, finished in bronze, can be seen behind the wooden grid, creating a significant contrast of materials, while to the south the sauna box protrudes from the glass facade.

T
he building site had a significant influence on the house’s design: a place with an intense geological history, located at the base of a volcano three million years old. The ground on which the residence is located is therefore composed of volcanic sediments from ancient flows and is dotted with boulders up to 15 feet in diameter. Not only that: the site is also located in a forest populated by Jeffrey Pine and white firs that, with their slender silhouettes, characterize the area. The Faulkner Architects studio, which was involved in the design, studied the history of the area in depth in order to succeed in inserting the house in the best way possible, without disturbing the surrounding nature, to create a built landscape well integrated and camouflaged within the slope on which it stands. It is for this reason that the shape of the building follows that of the ground revealing new structural solutions and the materi-als used take up, both in aesthetics and source, the origin of the site. An example of it is the red-orange glass on the inside, inspired by the color of cooled magma and whose reflections are projected into the environment, giving it warmth. The residence is spread over several floors with a staircase that con-nects the floors and outlines the path. At the entrance,

stands the living room with its spectacular views of the landscape, provided by the large sliding windows that allow the nature to penetrate inside the house. “We have chosen to furnish it with neutral and delicate color tones so that nature can remain the true protagonist of the house,� explain the architect. Among the special features is the master suite, located at the highest point of the house, with a spectacular panoramic view of the Martis Valley. References to the origins of the site can also be found in the volcanic basalt floors and walnut wood from the old orchards of the near-by Sierra foothills. Particular attention was then paid, during the design phase, to energy saving. Thus the reinforced concrete walls, the radiant stone floors, the R80 insulated roof, the optimized glazing and the highly efficient lighting systems reduce thus the energy use and dispersion to the minimum. In addition, the maintenance of the exterior is minimized: the structure is in fact designed in concrete and steel, high resistance materials, that ensure, among other things, high fire resistance.

T
he apartment is on the fourth and upper level of an elegant condominium in Saint Moritz, one of the most exclusive resorts in Europe, in the heart of the Swiss Alps. It originates from the union of two adjoining flats, which the new owners – a couple who enjoys a rich social life - wanted to merge into a large single-family house, in order to have great independence and flexibility. The task was assigned to Umberto Zanetti, whose Milan-based architecture and design studio can boast a wide international experience. “The winning move in this project has been to leverage on an apparently critical aspect of the original structure”, says the architect. “By keeping the long corridor of the first apartment as the axis of our new layout, we managed to transform a problem into a strength.” In fact, this choice enabled to free the south area of the apartment and take advantage of the large windows facing the mountains. There, the new project placed
the most frequented spaces of the house: the dining and living room, the master bedroom and a guest area. The central zone between the corridor and the south area hosts the kitchen and the bathrooms and is ‘permeable’ at different points thanks to connecting passages and views. “So that you can enjoy the mountains from anywhere in the house”, says Zanetti. The two bedrooms (one for the owners and one for the guests) are located at the end of the flat, which is the quieter and more private portion of the house. Furnishings and colours are well integrated in the new layout. All wooden furnishings are tailor-made and zero kilometer, as they have been locally sourced from highly skilled swiss artisans. Some of them, like the wardrobe cabinet, are embedded into the wall. As for colours, the choice was to link black with a very classical red tone. “It’s RAL 3020 red- the one of the Swiss flag” says Zanetti.

n consideration of the environment and the desire to simplify, the clients yearned for a smaller footprint for their family residence, much like their New York City Penthouse loft. Inset on a 45 percent slope, the parcel posed a challenge for the design team. Taking cues from the clients’ Irish travels and many visits to great castles of Europe, one enters from the top of the site across a wood and steel bridge spanning a secret garden through a monumental bronze door. Always covered, the secret garden connects shafts of light into the guest bath through a skylight, creating the feeling of a protective fortress. Through the threshold and down the stair, guests are welcomed into a primary living space, an homage to the sense of arrival to a great hall. The kitchen area is made of blackened steel and walnut veneered cabinets with brass accents. The dining area is made up of caramel leather chairs and Finn Juhl dining table and features a circular, dark central hearth acting as a subtle separative ele-

The living area is filled with eclectic artifacts featuring African masks, a willy Daro bronze table, and cast from a childhood bone break displayed like a relic. Light pours into the space through the black steel Brombal windows. The far wall of the living area is all glass and looks south and provides a breathtaking panorama of Los Angeles. One of the most notable features of the living space is a heavy metal gear-and-chain pivoting window, not only an opulent gesture that complements the interior objects but also an emphasis on the idea of ever changing, interweaving spaces. A pivoting window opens to the east terrace and a secondary dining room, allowing the visitor to zigzag down to the pool and lower guest rooms. A showcase of experiential choreography that rejects the traditional sequence of spaces, the seamless flow through the house speaks to the designer’s background in dance and an innate instinct when walking through a space.

functional reorganization of the rooms, the addition of a courtesy bathroom and the positioning of a staircase that connects the domestic space to the wonderful terrace with a panoramic view of the center of Milan: this is the heart of the project that takes maximum advantage of both available space and natural light. And as in all his works, Andrea Castrignano has characterized it by letting himself be guided by the sartorial care of details and his inimitable taste for color, mixing natural materials (wood and stone) and neutral colors (in shades of gray and sage green) to achieve a great elegance result. The living area consists of an open space with a simple and linear open-plan kitchen, but of great effect. The spiral staircase, located in the entrance, integrates perfectly with the style chosen for the living area, as a real piece of design: characterized by a modern silhouette, it was designed to minimize bulk and enhance light. Oak parquet flooring, geometric sheet metal coverings, design electric radiators. For the furniture of the living area, a sofa with tartan fabric cuscions, white linen curtains, a table in Canaletto Walnut for the dining corner and lights with geometric and contemporary lines have been chosen. The plasterboard lowering, in the central area, creates plays of volume and holds the air conditioning and purification systems. The guest bathroom, which is accessed from the living area, separates the living room from the large and bright bedroom, with a wardrobe area and an en suite bathroom equipped with a large shower and a masonry seat. A corner of relaxation and decompression that takes you away from the hectic lifestyle of the Milanese metropolis.

e have accomplished several alpine projects, but Gütsch is the highest so far!” says architect Christina Seilern, talking about his latest work: a restaurant that defies the law of gravity in the Andermatt ski-resort of the German-speaking Switzerland. “I love the mountains: I grew up in the Swiss Alps” recalls Christina, who now lives and works in London, where she founded her creative practice studio Seilern Architects. “As a child, my father would often send me to fetch fresh milk up in the ‘hameau’ (alpine village), where cows were brought to graze in the summer: only few small houses clinging to the mountainside. That was my inspiration for this project”. In fact, though a contemporary building, Gütsch, shows a clear link with the Alpine hameau tradition, both for the stone facades and for the elongated columns supporting the balconies, which give the structure a dramatic verticality: “We wanted the building to grow from its landscape and look as if it were suspended in space”, says the architect. “It’s like being on top of the world”.

ABOVE: From left to right, the table setting and the bar counter that consists of a reconstructed stone sculpture. UNDER: In the dining room (45 seats) a white steel chimney hangs lightly from a ceiling.
Gütsch is home to two different restaurants, The Japanese, by the Cheti, and the Gourmet, dedicated to the local alpine cuisine, by Neff. That’s why the structure includes two separate volumes for each restaurant, yet with a combined volume for the kitchen and the back-ofhouse. Each restaurant has its own entrance, kitchen and dining room. As for the interiors, The Japanese features a combination of steamed and roughened pine wood paneling, that recreates the atmosphere of a Japanese tea room; while for Gourmet Sailern designed a highly functional furniture and a bar made in colorful ‘terrazzo veneziano’. Both restaurants share large bright windows and a wooden terrace, resembling a trampoline over the impressive alpine scenario. “I am particularly happy with the boldness of the structure” confides the architect “The columns below the balconies, the lighting from the large windows, the way the structure reacts to the extreme weather. All these elements add value to the presence of the building”.

The goal was to juxtapose this feeling with a healthy dose of vintage Vegas’ glam and the disco era’s glitz (think Cher in the 70s). For the design of each penthouse, respectively named Modern Glamour and Curiosities, Curry worked with incredibly talented artisans to create bespoke experiences—including employing local craftsmen to update iconic designs with classic Murano glass molds. Curry also collaborated with sculptor Alex Roskin to design a suite of custom furniture, including poli-
shed, cast-bronze tables, live-edge wood beds with brass inlay details, and hand-forged brass art hooks. Each design element was thoughtfully implemented to add interest at every corner. Original art was commissioned by Fernando Mastrangelo, Miljan Suknovic, and Mallory Page. While each penthouse’s amenities vary suite-to-suite, luxurious perks include in-suite fitness studios, pool tables, private terraces, and a 24-hour butler service. In addition to The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Curry has worked with many notable brands and influential individuals including: Sotheby’s, Morgans Hotel Group, Moroccanoil, Jemma Wynne, Naomi Watts, and YouTube star Casey Neistat.

A TYPICAL “BOURGEOIS BOHEMIAN ALLURE”, DISTINCTIVE OF MANY PARISIAN HOMES, CHARACTERIZES A FAMILY VILLA IN THE COUNTRYSIDE SOUTH OF THE FRENCH CAPITAL
T
he homeowners – a young couple with three children – wanted to maintain the original layout of the house, jealously preserving its architectural features, and then chose functional, contemporary furnishings that create a fascinating contrast with the classic decorative style of the building. In the living room dominated by large windows overlooking the garden, a corner composition of the Adda seating system has become the favorite gathering place of the entire family that spends much of its time here. Numerous side/tray tables lend the Adda sofa added versatility. A Bangkok ottoman and upholstered Magi daybed contribute dynamic flair. In the dining room, the oval Zefiro table is surrounded by Feel Good chairs and armchairs upholstered in a soft, sophisticated lobster-color velvet. Dishes, glassware and other table necessities are neatly stored in the sumptuous mahogany Piuma hutch, conveniently placed near the table. Much loved by the homeowners is the small but enchanting winter garden, home to many plants and a comfortable Ortigia Outdoor armchair. In the bedroom, the clean lines and generous padding of the Groundpiece bed, paired with the Feel Good ottoman and Jiff and Fly coffee/side tables, create restful harmony. Beside the fireplace, the Thomas armchair offers an inviting reading area. During the summer, the family spends much of its time outdoors. The garden in front of the house hosts the Zante sofa, with its sophisticated structure in iroko wood, an Ortigia Outdoor armchair, a Phuket ottoman and Fly Outdoor coffee table. All the furniture is produced by Flexform.
