Club Azzurro: a stone cavern for well-being

Concentrating on the choice of soft parameters, the firm D73 (Vismara and Viganò) has re-qualified a sports centre by including a spa area among its services and characterising it with high-tech stone surfaces by Ariostea enhanced by grazing light from spotlights.
Marco Vismara and Andrea Viganò have a perceptive approach to projects for rooms and focus their attention on the way in which people interact with the place in which they “live”, in the more complete sense of the word. They pay special attention to projects having to do with wellness in which the correct perception of the surroundings is essential for creating a condition of wellbeing. They tackled the project for re-qualifying the Club Azzurro in Gazzada Schianno, in the province of Varese, starting out from the image and from the figurative references that the user would like to find when seeking physical and mental wellbeing.

Ariostea Boutique in Paris 1

Duccio Grassi Architects of Reggio Emilia designed a showroom for Ariostea based on the concept of the prestigious Paris “boutique” to present Ariostea’s most exclusive collections in France.
The showroom is set up on the basis of an elegant and apparently simple style, in white and grey without any superfluous materials. The elements used to display products are sliding retractable and niche panels, labstations and built-in chests of drawers, all designed to be elegant and practical.

New Nusco Porte showroom

Location: Nola (NA) - Italy
Design: Arch. Nicola Litto
Materials used: Universe - Night Blue

Nusco Porte’s new showroom is a high impact space which attracts visitors’ attention and makes a great impression, underlining the quality of the Group’s products on display in a simple setting while at the same time attracting attention to the view outside through the glass walls all around the building.
The biggest challenge architect Nicola Litto faced was overcoming the “usual” idea of the exhibition space, underlining the product and its particular qualities without falling into the trap of banality, creating a particular elegant, prestigious setting that demonstrates how the company itself is evolving in its designs, internal organisation, and above all ability to create products free of aesthetic and dimensional constraints.
