Tailored furniture shapes an apartment in Cremona
For a design that focuses on both functionality and aesthetic care, the furniture created with Caccaro systems can meet all needs and define new concepts of space.
The customary pitched roof is inverted and will be capable of collecting approximately 40% of the villagers’ domestic water usage in fresh rainfall. The building has already won an AIA New York Chapter award and was selected for the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale.
Opened in March 2015, Thread offers residencies for visiting international artists alongside a diverse range of programs that provide the people of Sinthian and the surrounding region with the opportunity to discover new forms of creativity and cultivate their skills. A venue for markets, education, performances and meetings, the centre is a hub for the local community and a place where the resident artists can have a truly meaningful experience of Sinthian society.
