STUDIO MARCO PIVA

Un albergo di lusso a pochi passi dall’antico tempio romano, dove il design contemporaneo diventa un omaggio alla Città Eterna. A luxury hotel located a few steps from the ancient Roman temple to the gods, and a place where contemporary design pays homage to the Eternal City.

Volte a crociera in gesso bianco si susseguono scandite da archi in bronzo, ognuno contornato da una linea di luce, mentre un pavimento nero a specchio raddoppia lo spazio. La galleria centrale del The Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel avvolge gli ospiti nell’atmosfera dell’antico tempio romano, rievocata da un design contemporaneo. Il progetto per l’albergo a cinque stelle è firmato dallo studio milanese di Marco Piva. La struttura si trova all’interno di un palazzo storico nel cuore della capitale, a pochi passi dal Pantheon.

Studio Marco Piva ha curato sia il restauro e la ristrutturazione dell’edificio esistente, sia il disegno degli interni del nuovo albergo. La sfida del progetto è stata proprio riportare a nudo la costruzione originale, rimaneggiata negli anni, ripulendola e recuperando alcuni elementi architettonici originali. The Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel si sviluppa su sei piani più una terrazza in copertura e un interrato, destinato agli ambienti di servizio. The ceiling of the main hallway of The Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel consists of a repeating series of white plaster doublebarrelled vaults, each divided from the next by bronze arches bordered by a narrow strip of light, while the polished black floor mirrors back the whole and seem to double the space. By evoking the ancient past through contemporary design, the main hall of the hotel immerses guests in the atmosphere of the classic Roman temple. The design of the five-star hotel is the work of the Milanese studio of Marco Piva and is located in a historic building in the heart of the capital, a stone’s throw from the Pantheon.

Studio Marco Piva oversaw the restoration and renovation of the existing building as well as the interior design of the new hotel. The challenge of the project was to strip back to the original building, undo the conversions of previous years, clean up the structure, and recover some of its original architectural elements. The Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel takes up six floors plus a roof terrace, as well as a basement that is used for services.
