Willa Makowski Groń
Makowski Groń is a residence sculpted by the dramatic mountain landscape. A strong, geometric form cuts into the slope, anchoring the house firmly to the terrain and creating a powerful architectural silhouette. Designed as an interplay of mass, light, and topography, the project embraces the raw energy of its surroundings while offering calm, sheltered spaces within.
EKLEKT ATELIER
The architecture is built from elemental materials — concrete, stone, and timber — chosen for both their honesty and their ability to withstand the mountain climate. Large openings frame peaks and valleys, drawing the landscape into the interior, while deep overhangs and carved terraces protect the living spaces from harsh weather and create in... More

Designed for those who value spatial freedom and the comfort that comes from disciplined geometry, the house asserts its presence with clarity and intention.

Project • By NAT OFFICE - christian gasparini architect • Residential Landscape
HSBC | housescape
The project tries to configure an idea of living conceived as fluid space, protected but at the same time interconnected with the surrounding landscape, able to grant privacy to the family but to project it perceptively in a wider spatiality, to connect it to the scale of the neighbourhood.The house presents itself as a diaphragm of open and closed, built and natural spaces variously interlaced. Clearly defined volumetric structures are placed into the fluid space that connects the “inside” with the “outside”, the “built” with the natural, house and landscape.The building is developed on two floors built on a single dimensional span that rules the relation of an empty and transparent space with volumes (the bedrooms – studios) that set them...

MegaMart S
Innovation and development must be able to reconcile costs and high performance. This is the philosophy underlying the development of the MEGAMART S SUPPORTS. A basic line of supports in terms of high-level performance that, by eliminating only those parts which are not necessary in certain situations, makes it possible to obtain a product that is versatile, quick to lay, with carrying capacity of 800 kg, a range of 90 mm and the modularity of an extension that can be inserted with a simple click. Like all of Impertek supports, with MegaMart S you can correct slopes of up to 10% thanks to the CP slope correctors. More

Martinetto
The MARTINETTO represent flexibility and versatility to Nthe highest degree, thanks to their ability to always optimise their own performance and ensuring the best compromise between costeffectiveness and performance level. Their structure, split into at least 4 components (head, screw, ring nut and base) Mallows dimensions and ranges to be optimised, so that the user can always find the solution best suited to its own needs. The base, free of constraints, makes it possible to work easily on the ring nut, so that the height can be adjusted even with part of the floor already laid.

MegaMart
The quality immediately shows, to the sight and to the touch, thanks to a solid structure (able to carry 1000 kg per piece), counter ring nuts for mechanical blocking of the height, and an adjusting ring nut that allows two simultaneous movements between base and screw, doubling the adjustment speed for a truly excellent laying performance. From the fourth item onward (115-220 mm), the base makes it possible to house the small headpiece and position the support upside down, thus making it possible to obtain a larger resting surface, which is crucial when laying tiles with reduced thickness.Moreover, for each product reference, the only element that changes is the number of extensions to be used, thus ensuring the best performance from a log...

The introduction of the new Balance micro-head, designed to make the support selflevelling, also represents a great news for the entire line. Thanks to the new Balance micro-head, Jack Supports become the easiest, quickest and most cost-effective system for the laying of raised floo... More
