Travertine

This project operates on the interplay between matter and perspective. When is something a space between rooms and when is it a room. Is something a floor or a kitchen. Is it inside or outside. A Matter of Perspective transforms a two-level apartment into a narrative about perception of space. Matte glass panels diffusing light and shadows, referencing the steam state of matter, and sliding partitions shifting the occupant’s perspective. Through sightlines and openings in walls the ordinary becomes extraordinary.  Giovanni Nardi The design unfolds as a sequence of shifting perspectives. Matte glass panels diffuse light and shadow throughout the apartment, while carefully positioned openings and sliding partitions continuous... More

In the pedestrian heart of Padua, Essentia redefines the concept of a showroom through an intervention that works on spatial continuity and the expressive power of surfaces. The project moves beyond simple commercial display to create a unified organism, where cement resin, stone, and wood become architectural matter that guides the visitor from the public dimension of the ground floor toward the immersive and intimate dimension of the basement. The entrance welcomes the client into a space that becomes an urban scenography. The reception stands out as a monolithic volume in travertine: a tectonic presence that organizes flows and acts as the first material manifesto, directing the gaze toward the hall. Here, the environment is rhythmicall... More

The house is called Casa da Ria as it is near the Alvor Estuary, over which it has panoramic and ever changing views due to the varying tides. The plot is extensive and slopes steeply to the north-west, where the wide views open up to the east and south and the light intensifies. Here, the outdoor spaces and shadows become more appealing, to enjoy the delights of a mild climate, all year round. Although the urban regulations for this area allow the construction of 3 floors from ground level up, it was decided to build just 2 floors in order to achieve more horizontality and a smooth connection with the surrounding landscape. In this way, the visual impact is reduced. The house seems to almost disappear to the north-west, from... More
