PROJECT DESCRIPTION
.
Floors – coatings
The floors, walls, stairs and even the doors of the structure are coordinated architecturally and aesthetically, through use of the same product. The cement finish of Action, whose originality lies in the changing colours and layering of textures, gives the surface a lived-in, creative style, while its slender (6.5 mm-thick) proportions mean it is also ideal for use for other items such as trims and doors.

Villa Emy Boutique Bed&Breakfast
Nestled among palm trees and tamarisk shrubs, overlooking the sea in the Puglia town of Bisceglie, Villa Emy - a splendid Art Deco building from the 1930s - has re-emerged with a bold new identity. Following a series of refurbishments in the 1960s and its use as an events venue and cocktail bar until 2010, in 2023, architects Paolo Lettieri - founder of UPA Italia - and Pierluigi Pindinelli were assigned the restoration project which would turn the villa into an enchanting bed and breakfast.
The dialogue between heritage and modernity is balanced, with original vaults and wall partitions brought out through neutral tones and careful colour accents.

But a key aim of the project was to ensure maximum energy efficiency and this was achieved by adopting the most innovative measures offered by today's technology and contemporary architecture. -
ALEJA shopping centre in Ljubljana
The Aleja shopping centre was constructed with materials of the very highest quality. Ceramica Fondovalle was chosen to cover the interiors of the delicatessen sector of the Interspar hypermarket with concrete effect porcelain stoneware tiles from the Portland collection, in Lassen colour and 120x60 size.
Thanks to the striking patterning which resembles hand-trowelled concrete, the overall visual impact is extremely attractive. The simple, neutral colour adds value to the location, transforming the area into a small corner to be savoured with the eyes.
