Villa T
The former Villa Terraza, named by its first resident with a small sign at the entrance, already contained the essence of the project: a home defined by light and by the desire to transform an apartment into a luminous retreat. This original intuition guided the intervention from the very beginning. The dwelling opens to every orientation, allowing the path of the sun to shape the rhythms of everyday life.

The owner envisioned a place where reading, sunbathing, or walking barefoot would become part of a serene domestic experience. The project responds to this way of living through a restrained architecture, almost monastic in its materiality, where space is defined... More
Product • By Mayor • ETERNA COLLECTION
ETERNA COLLECTION
The Eterna collection is inspired by Fior Di Bosco stone, extracted from quarries in Tuscany. Its original tone is an elegant grey, full of leaden and smoky nuances interspersed with tree-like veins in shades of white and ochre. The collection brings sophistication and serenity. With its three colours, we range from the original and classic Cendra tone, to a vision in line with current trends such as Argent and Alba. It is perfect for large projects, both for interiors and exteriors, in residential and luxury hotel constructions. More

SAVOY COLLECTION
Our Savoy collection is an interpretation of the Grigio Venato stone, born at the foot of the Alps. We have carefully selected each block to ensure its quality and to highlight its characteristic white veins that intertwine harmoniously with its rich background. The subtle transitions between the veined areas and the background bring dynamism. A high quality proposal that adapts perfectly to any decorative style. More

Terramater: artisanal ceramic surfaces made with Italian clays
Terramater is a new porcelain stoneware collection from the Crogiolo series, made from Italian raw materials and 60% recycled material. Thanks to special glazes that blend with the red body during firing, Terramater creates textured oor and wall coverings with unique surfaces, richly detailed and charged with memory. The palette of seven intense, deep colours is born from the reaction between the glaze and the natural oxides, recalling the aesthetics of 1970s ceramics, whose dimensions they also recover and reinterpret.

The Red House
We were charged with the design of a multifamily house on a smaller vacant plot in a semi-open development. The biggest challenge here lay in the shape of the plot: very narrow in front and widening towards the back. In addition, it also had to connect seamlessly to the adjacent blind façade of the house

In order to make the different building levels visible in a quest for recognisability and a captivating volumetry, incisions were made, as it were, where limited overhangs provide the shadow effect desired. These incisions provide a logical transition between the different building depths at the back. At the front, the overhang forms the covered entrance porch of th... More

Casa Cabanyal
The Valencian studio Viruta Lab signs the rehabilitation and interior design of this historic house of 85m2. Original architectural elements, pre-existing materials and the soul of this popular neighborhood are elevated through a respectful recovery in which the sentimental value has been essential.
Return the sentimental value to the homeThis historic house of 85m2 square is a small jewel of the most seafaring neighborhood of Valencia: the Cabanyal. A two-storey building, from 1946, which needs to be restored to its hidden splendor, overshadowed for too many years by its closure, humidity and the passage of time. Thus, it was a modest residence where the grandparents of the current owner used to live. A place of immeasurable sentiment... More

10 homes that make use of decorative ceramic tiles
Ceramic tile designs range from simple to complex, utilitarian to elegant. Available in an almost infinite number of colors, finishes, textures, and sizes, ceramic tiles are typically versatile and can be used throughout the home.

Tiles can be used to cover expansive areas of the home (inside and outside), to create a feature wall or a visual accent point in a room, to demarcate a particular space, and to... More

EOVASTUDIO renovates a traditional family estate reviving the ingenuity of rural landscapes in Spain
Rising from a breathtaking and endless landscape of cork oak groves and ecological mountain olive groves in Monesterio in Spain, La Hacienda Los Acepados is a 19th-century estate formerly used for agriculture and livestock farming.

99 COMMONS
99 COMMONS is a reinvented workshop tower in Tuen Mun designed to revitalize the aging industrial town by gathering a community of young entrepreneurs and creatives. We distilled elements from the surrounding nature, such as the iconic Castle Peak, the blue sky, the tree branches, and the Light Rail, to inform the design and crafts of the façade and lobby interior.

Four types of ceramic tiles with different shades of green and blue were digitally programmed to curate a controlled yet organic visual tessellation. 1:1 mockups were experimented on-site to achieve an organic composition of hue and glossiness....
