Two-Story Villa
On the outskirts of Panorama, Thessaloniki, this two-story villa stands out for its strong architectural character. The key design priorities were energy efficiency, functional autonomy, and open-plan spaces.

In the project, designed by architect Athanasios Goulidis, particular emphasis was placed on the seamless integration of the interior and exterior environments, expressed through a minimal aesthetic approach. The combination of stone, wood, and metal creates a cohesive, well-balanced architectural identity. As the architect notes, “the façade design was guided by bioclimatic principles. The core of the building remains solid to the north, while the main entrance is positioned on the eastern... More

Motion 10500 - Kinetic Façade Shading , Horizontal Sliding Shading System
Horizontal Sliding shading is a kinetic facade made up of single or multiple sashes sliding on aluminum tracks. The sliding motion can take place on the top or on the bottom. Usually, a side frame is not required unless there is the need for locking. Locking can be provided manually or electrically. The sashes can be arranged next to each other on the same track or in a stepped formation hooking to each other. The movement is in the horizontal axis manually or electrically. The max sash width is limited to 2 meters and its height can go up to 5 meters. In its standard installation configuration, it is mounted within the building frame. Optionally it can also be fixed on the outside thus creating seamless integration with the building claddi... More

House in Notting Hill
The clients required multi-functional spaces that could be opened up or closed off, for example, when guests came to stay. Flexibility throughout the whole plan was a key feature of the brief as was making the space feel ‘generous’. The solution was using pocket door systems on the downstairs to make the most of the space available.
The large bespoke sliding pocket door system used for the entry from the hallway to the main living area mirrored the sliding glass panel that then provided access into the garden.
The architect chose Syntesis Line Estensione Double, because they wanted to use discrete extra large bespoke doors to help the house feel spacious and to allow more natural light throughout. The doors gave adaptability to the prope... More
Product • By Scrigno • Essential Trial
Essential Trial
Essential Trial is a sliding door frame based on an evolution of Essential and Essential Dual, the result of constant research and design development by Scrigno.
This innovative product can contain three disappearing sliding glass doors linked by a sliding system inside a single metal box. This makes it possible to achieve particularly wide openings even when only small wall areas are available for the installation of the door frame.
The finished opening matches the wall perfectly, eliminating doorposts and edging trims and leaving it free from all exposed components. Plasterwork or plasterboard can be applied directly to the aluminium profile bars used in Essential Trial, and these can then be easily painted to ensure attractive fina... More
Product • By Scrigno • SURPRISE
SURPRISE
This frame features doors with a special sliding system that allows one door to slide telescopically into the other, which in turn slides back into the metal box in the wall. The particular design of the Surprise frame means it can only be used with Lorica doors from the Unique range.
Available in single and double versions, for masonry walls only.
Also available in non-standard sizes, in heights varying to the nearest centimetre. More
Product • By Scrigno • APPLAUSO
APPLAUSO
The main feature of Applauso frames is that they are fitted with doors that fold over each other like the pages of a book.
The folded door occupies less space inside the metal box, making it possible to install a standardsized sliding concealed door even where little space is available. Applauso is therefore the ideal solution for those with limited wall space available for housing the metal box, who nevertheless prefer a wide doorway.
The double version of Scrigno Applauso allows for an opening width of 240 cm with minimum space occupied.
Available in single and double versions for masonry walls only. Available in two standard heights. More

TURNABLE CORNER WINDOW
The patented Turnable Corner system has been developed to optimise space and completely free the glazed surfaces from the passageway. Based on an ingenious roller principle, this major architectural innovation allows the panels to slide and turn at the corners, opening up the façade to create seamless continuity between interior and exterior spaces.
Each glass panel can reach up to 6 m² and 250 kg, sliding independently before pivoting to be stored neatly within a dedicated pocket or along a wall. The result is a breathtakingly open view and an unparalleled sense of fluidity.
Originally developed in collaboration with architect Norman Foster of Foster + Partners, the Turnable Cor... More

Lukas Foundation
Interview with Karin Pascual, Lukas Foundation Communications Manager
The Foundation is named after Lukas, a boy, now 16 years old, who suffers from a mitochondrial disease. Confined to a wheelchair, Lukas is unable to speak or move independently, which risks isolating him and his family from the outside world. Even short car trips are difficult and slow. “Fundación Lukas” was established as a pilot project out of the desire to create a place able to help and improve the quality of life of those who, like Lukas, have reduced psychomotor skills.
At the design level, the building was constructed to be 85% self-sufficient and energy sustainable. The roof is fitted with a photovoltaic array to meet the centre's energy needs, and... More
