The apartment is part of a building from the end of the eighteenth century. The original structure of the building has been able to enhance the quality of the environmental context, establishing a continuous dialogue between the surroundings and the construction. Formerly the residence of a rich family from Milan, the property has recently undergone a complete restoration dividing it in apartments.
Villa G is located in Pantogia, a hill facing the wonderful Pevero bay, just two steps from Porto Cervo, an exclusive vacation place for the international jet set.
The original villa, composed by two different houses built during the ‘70s on a plot of 5’000 Sq. m, has been completely refurbished and enlarged; only its structure has been maintained.
“Living Nature”, a garden pavilion that uses energy flow controls to allow spring, summer, autumn and winter to coexist under the same roof, opens today in Piazza del Duomo, Milan’s main square. Designed by CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati, it is the premier exhibition at the 57th annual Salone del Mobile, the world’s leading design and furniture fair.

“Di Ponte in Bianco” is a temporary public art installation designed for the event “Aperti per Ferie 2016” organized by the cultural association Open City Roma. “Aperti per Ferie 2016” is part of the activities promoted by the municipality of Rome for the “Estate Romana”.
Res Company is a showroom located in the commercial area of Baricentro (Bari). The interior design prioritises the simplicity, function and the experience. At the entrance there is an interior garden in which we find the living area with suede armchairs and sofa and an original kilim rug. The industrial look of the space is softened by a light pink floor which invests all the four sales areas like a carpet. Pink and white light up the space and cheer up the soul. The hangers are conceived as modular iron elements that allow the reformulation of the space according to the needs. The tables are made by local craftsmens. The glass table has a rationalist design, the wooden one has a traditional design. Black bookcases and a red-orange piece are used to show the accessories of the collections. Very funny are also the irregular shaped mirrors, the podium and the corrugated shield.
The essence of the space has been completely transformed by the project of this 120 square meters apartment which was previously charcterized by narrow and dark rooms.
The lighting design emphasises the main architectural elements, while giving depth and continuity to the several functional areas. The big sliding walls that separate the different rooms allow a flexible use of space, depending on the clients’ changing needs.

A project that was born from the desire of commissioning a recurrence and innovate so not usual, by way of \”experimenting\” with new forms of activity, and that turns into a new architectural expression. A project that engages in Etna area, a crossroads of flows and the heart of the historic center: the main hub of the Catania movida, but above all the history and culture of a dynamic city and always looking for new challenges.
