The new building, which houses LAGO Logistica and LAGO Osteria, was designed by zaettastudio and intends to give a sense to the industrial building, with a bold architecture that explores the lexicon of technological innovation, without neglecting the artisanal and territorial tradition of the company.
Architect Giorgio Zaetta expresses. “We usually work on residential projects, with a home like dimension. The challenge of this project is to create the spirit of a house inside a factory, therefore an industrial architecture not only functional, but also capable of encompassing other values. Beyond the external shape, what distinguishes the project is the quality of the interior space, which manages to create a place to work feeling at home.”
Parmigiano-Reggiano, with its millenary tradition, is an integral not only economic but also social part of the rural Emilia area. Dairies are fixed points of the landscape of the Reggio and Parma provinces and their communities, representing much more than a simple place of processing.
Naturally alongside the unchanged artisan nature of the product, in the last century new technologies for production and conservation have been developed, which from the postwar period onwards made it necessary to adapt the traditional structures, which were flanked in most of the cases structures conceived only from the utilitarian point of view, favoring coarse solutions with an industrial flavor, not very in tune with the rural environment in which they are inserted.
A project developed by InvestiRE SGR, leading operator in the asset management sector and part of the Banca Finnat Group, the hostel opens to the public in April 2022 in one of the city’s key areas, close to the Fortezza da Basso. It will be the brand’s third hostel, following their second opening in Milan in 2021. Florentine firm Pierattelli Architetture were tasked with defining a new concept of informal hospitality and developing a narrative capable of being form and substance, structure and content, space and message.
Corte del Tiglio is the new project that strengthens the collaboration between Archventil and Rinofanto Development, and is the first real estate project to go to CrowdFundMe, also announced by Sole24Ore.
The project involved the construction of 5 residential units divided into two buildings, each with large windows overlooking a private garden.
The location is Milan, in Via Bonaventura Zumbini, a rapidly developing residential area.
The apartment, located on the top floor of a building on the border between the Prati and Balduina districts, has one of its strengths in the brightness of the rooms. The project reflects the will of the customers, a young family at their first cohabitation in Rome after having lived in France and the Philippines, to take full advantage of the living area with the kitchen designed as a meeting place.
Jesolo is the Italian seaside town with the largest beach extension. The City is part of a once insular territory which only became a touristic destination in the 1930’s
Large reclamation works have connected the mainland to those islands where during the centuries small farms and fishermen villages had been built. Today Jesolo is part of a vast territory and finds itself near both Venice and the Dolomites, giving the city a privileged position attracting not only local visitors, but also those from Germany, Austria and many other Northern nations. Jesolo Lido is the most touristic part of this city and extends for almost 15 km along streets which run parallel to the sea. One of these roads, only a block away from the beach, is via Bafile, the main shopping street of the city.
The private villa is located in Rapallo, near ther city of Genoa, facing the Tigullio Gulf. The land around the site is used as olive grove, in fact there are a beautiful trees with variable height between 3 and 4 meters (about 123 plants). Thanks to the excellent exposure (the slope is developed from north to south and overlooking the sea to the west), can be found also the fruit trees, typical of the Ligurian and Mediterranean peasant culture (fig, plum, carob, etc..) and small “clearings” used for horticultural crops. The project wants to recover the entire olive grove, thanks to the creation of a new building and related exterior maintenance. Stone and wood, (wild chestnut), are the traditional materials.
The alternation of transparency and opacity on the façade provides the double function of protection and perception of the external space.
A blade of glass and steel, resembling a prow pointing north-west, acts as the fulcrum of the Accenture People Hub building’s architectural composition, one of Accenture’s offices in Italy, a project by Park Associati for Milanofiori Sviluppo (Gruppo Brioschi Sviluppo Immobiliare). Comprising fifteen floors above ground and covering a surface of approximately 31,500 square metres, this building is one of the most notable achievements of the Milanofiori Nord sector in Assago.
These two houses have been built through a long process of research, design and experimentation on materials, technology and program. The binding element of this process was the courage and trust of the client who accepted to be part of a journey of which these two buildings are only a fragment.
Research
The project for the Houses of Cards started long before it was actually commissioned at the end of 2015. Elastico Farm has been carrying on for years a structured research on building materials and on the technology and techniques related to them. In the last 10 years we have been engaged in the study and experimental application of prefabricated structural elements for industrial buildings. At the same time we have worked with the brick, stone, wood and prefabricated reinforced concrete industries to fully understand their potential and the possibilities for alternative or/ and combined use of those materials in the construction market. Our research on Sardinian granite began in 2013 when we were approached by a quarry from Olbia to study their material and to evaluate the unexpressed potential of this unique, relatively inexpensive and abundant product.
This project has completely modified the look and use of this two story penthouse through a limited amount of changes.
The main goal has been to open up the interior space toward the outdoor surrounding terrace.
In order to do so, the night and day areas have been sharply divided following the two floors: living room, kitchen, dining room and guest bathroom on the lower level, two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper level.
