The plan for the new Faloria Mountain Spa Resort, historical glamorous hotel based in Cortina, has finally been unveiled. The project, signed by the architect Flaviano Capriotti, upgrades the resort to the highest hospitality standards, achieving the fifth star and presenting a new hospitality model: at crossroads between local tradition, innovation and comfort.
The opening is scheduled for December 2018, just in time for the start of the skiing season and for the Christmas holidays. The project comprises not only the aesthetic and functional refurbishment of the existing building, but also a generous expansion, through the construction of a brand new central body, which recall the typical style of the Dolomites.
In this project Flaviano Capriotti has developed an aesthetical language harmonized with the surrounding landscape, revisiting it with a contemporary touch.
The aim was to create a sales point near to the existing ones, enhancing the overall atmosphere.
A minimalist ambient characterized by simple lines and regular shapes that recall the simplicity of oriental style and involve customer in an ephemeral and refined atmosphere.
The new space dedicated to footwear and accessories goes alongside to the boutique, previously created, and characterized by a contemporary reinterpretation of the 1950s style.
The passion for quality and innovation, together with respect for tradition, makes of Hi Contract an ideal partner. It gave the company the opportunity to be chosen by The Merchant of Venice for the design of sophisticated mono-brand stores. From 2016, stores have opened in Verona, Milan and Florence.
With a combination of the most modern technologies and craftsmanship, the contractor of Treviso transforms woods and other composite materials into volumes, surfaces and extraordinary objects of excellent qualities. It gives life to a suggestive and exclusive environment, from the wood of the structure and personalized trays for bottles to the carpets up to the lighting. Every detail of the furniture was created by the Hi Contract expert and dynamic team.

The Patisserie Hofer in the centre of the old town of Bozen / Bolzano (IT) was founded in 1845 and is the oldest in the whole region; now it is running in its 6th generation. Noa* (network of architecture) has kept all the history in mind and gave the shop an urban and contemporary vibe with a cosy atmosphere.
The owner Hannes Dollinger lived and worked for years in Vienna and fell in love with the tradition of the ‘Wiener Kaffeehaus’. Cosy spaces where you can enjoy coffee and pastry for hours, reading a newspaper and having a chat with the waiter, as you would in your own living room, were his idea of the new café. And in fact, the cosiness already starts from the doorsill. The entrance is formed by a group of vintage armchairs that create a sort of a living room and invite passing people to have a seat. In summer the facade is totally open and the chairs get part of the street and the city.
Moors have always been mystical places full of secrets and drifting moods. The specific characteristic of such a genius loci served as the central design inspiration for noa*’s (network of architecture) project, which entailed the redesign and extension of the former “Moarhof” hotel at the end of the Valser valley, which is surrounded by moorland at about 1,300m altitude.
The result of this mystical transformation is the 4-star-S Hotel “Silena”. With its’ swamp-coloured, organically angular and integration into the landscape, it appears to be growing out of the unstable ground as a place of tranquillity, strength and soul, designed down to the smallest detail. The surrounding archaic nature as well as the southeast-asian touch of the interior and the extensive accompanying program, which was specially requested by the client, were the decisive factors for the final outcome.
Marginepresents Bettino, the new pavilion dedicated to the sale of the merchandising products of the Meyer Foundation, located inside the homonymous Pediatric Hospital of Florence. The project, which owes its name to the first patient of the internationally-renowned university hospital structure, is part of the gallery that was recently constructed between the east and west body of the original building.
The pavilion is presented as a laminated wood structure, surmounted by a continuous steel and glass façade in visual connection with the four hectares of the garden, which surrounds the hospital. The interior is characterized by the rhythmic repetition of a wooden structural system, composed of main and secondary ogival arches that reach a height of over 10 meters.
A typical Milanese casa di ringhiera (a traditional tenement with communal balcony) transformed into a design hotel: this is the Savona 18 Suites, the project that Aldo Cibic has created for the Blu Hotels group.
An operation that began with the refurbishment of an abandoned twentieth century building that Cibic has brought back from the brink. In so doing he has preserved its architectural image and managed to retain the authentic flavour of the Milanese courtyard: representative of the “style” typical of that period.
“Donzellini 43” is the renovation project of a historical building in the centre of Orzinuovi (Bs).
The operation, curated by ZDA| Zupelli Design Architettura, aims to introduce new architectural qualities in a building of the late twentieth century characterized by a dated and decadent.
The compositional fulcrum of the work is the contemporary reinterpretation of the main front, overlooking Via Donzellini. It is clearly outlined according to criteria of cleanliness and extreme order, given to the observer by the elegant chromatic contrast chosen to highlight the play of volumes created by the loggias and by the projecting elements.
The focus of the project was to create a new look of the company „Provex“, a producer of shower cabs and bathroom equipment since 1975. Provex is known for its innovation and elegant design. To express the trademark of the company the facade of the existing hall has been covered by a very special case, made of more than 8.000 metal flakes, that shimmer in the wind and look like water. Trough targeted illumination at night the metal flakes seem to be a water feature.
