Design and ceramics renew a shopping center
FMG Fabbrica Marmi and architect Paolo Gianfrancesco, of THG Arkitektar Studio, have designed the restyling of the third floor of Reykjavik's largest shopping center. Ceramic, the central element of the project, covers floors, walls and furniture with versatile solutions and distinctive character.
Designed by T+E Arquitectos in Tuxtla Gutérrez, Mexico, Casa LV1 is a complex of two residences for a three generations family (an elderly couple, their young daughter and their granddaughter). Each of the houses is developed independently, with some shared areas such as the entrance, services and gardens. The first volume is designed for the elderly couple and features a panoramic terrace. The second one presents a 4.85m deep cantilever that creates a repaired space under the rooms. The connection between the two houses is emphasized by the use of glass facades, which open onto the landscape. The main material used is white concrete, which has been cast on site and not finished.

A house turns its back on the road to open up to the landscape
The single-family house project designed by Elena Gianesini engages in a dialogue with the Vicenza landscape, combining tranquility and contemporary style through essential geometries and the Mazzonetto metal roofing.
