Porcelanosa Grupo presented the new collection of bath designed by the studies Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and Luis Vidal + Architects for Noken in an act that took place in London.
The Design Center that Porcelanosa Grupo inaugurated the same year in Clerkenwell's London district was the scene chosen for the world launch of the collection Mood, a new concept of bath that combines a design of lines and technology futurists with the use responsible for the natural resources.
The architects Richard Rogers and Luis Vidal exposed this new concept integrated by the plumbing fixtures created by Luis Vidal + Architects and the collection of sanitary that have developed together both studies for Noken.
The line of Mood sanitary combines the world of the ceramics with the integration of accessories; his wide range of possibilities does of her a modular and extendable collection, at the same time as versatile and functional.
The line of Mood set of taps is born as response to the use responsible for the water. His electronic range allows to personalize for every use and user the functioning, flow and temperature.

– After the fruitful summer bathing ship and the brisk demand of press, in autum 2005 the construction was roofed temporarily, to maintain the business over winter. The winter- roofs base area is limited to the existing arrangement and consists of three lengthwise airy parts of a structure constructed with membrans, which are divorcing the interior into three functional areas: lounge, sauna- area and finally the pool ship. These areas are connected via added boxes where the sanitarian rooms are included.
– The construction is existing of elliptical wooden trusses which are spaned by a two laied membrane.
– By the use of translucent and in selected fields transparent surfaces, it is created a strong reference to the surrounding. Space between membranes is filled up with air preassure, to achieve an optimised insulation to guarantee an agreeable temperature (25°C) inside also during extremely cold outdoor temperature, despite minimalised tare.
– To minimise building cost there were exclusively used standard materials and processing was just done with a minimal complexity. To guarantee a fast assembly and disassembly it was of great value to create uncomplex joinings and the ease of manual assembly. The whole superstructure trough the division in elements is mountable and removeable without the use of a crane. These elements can be stored over summer or alternatively be used as a pavilion ashore.
– The Bathing Ship not only supplements the estival offer of bathing opportunities of the Spree in front of the urban scenery of the eastern harbour; besides you can enjoy sauna and bathing during the cold month with a panoramic view over the winterly river Spree until in springtime the arrangement finds back to its original form.
Venatto are broadening their range of decorated paving with the launch of the new collection Ópalo: unique pieces which care for ever last detail with the quality guarantee of last generation ceramic technology, and the most advanced Spanish technology.
The exclusive production process through extrusion allows for the perfect integration of the cast stones, which obtains a surface of exquisite purity for the most demanding markets. This natural paving can act as a perfect substitute for marble or quarried stones, and it will remain impeccable with the passing of time, even in frequently used spaces.
Carmen Luna, marketing director of Greco Gres International, explains that “The collection of Venatto decorative designs is our venture for the high end international market, where we are highly regarded. The collection is the haute couture of ceramics, with designs inspired by the paving of legendary palaces and exotic cultures which results in the beauty of our product”.
Venatto´s decorative designs are a practical solution and are easy to install; they offer multiple combinations to obtain unique paving which is easy to clean and maintain.
Among the latest designs Ópalo stands out, which includes various ceramic tiles of 40x40cm with a polished finish. It is an exquisite design that permits the combination of different tiles to adapt to different decorative projects.
The polished finish is the perfect choice for hotels, businesses, restaurants, offices, and, principally, in projects that require a natural high quality and easy to clean floor surface, that does not need upkeep. They are especially appropriate in the home to decorate sitting rooms, corridors, hallways, kitchens and bathrooms.
With this launch Venatto has once again emanated their commitment to innovation and the development of new products with the most sophisticated techniques of the current ceramic industry.

A lounge bar that was born with a premise: uniqueness and an exclusive treatment for the customer. It is a single space that is capable of generating various perceptions: visual, chromatic, auditory, sensory… The solution consists of a three-dimensional metal grid that is made up of more than 400 different pieces, which are deformed, stretched, shaped and adapted to the existing architecture of the building. It is a single shell that generates the space but at the same time separates it visually. A single solution with a multiplicity of variables.
THE AGENCY
ON-A, located in Barcelona since 2005, was created as an international architectural laboratory with great deal of professional experience in its background. The main objective of our studio is to help give meaning to the discipline of architecture by creating interesting solutions to everyday problems, and developing these solutions with the utmost quality and respect to the design, technology and knowledge of the environment. New methods, design and production techniques that have been developed by the industry in recent years enable us to design innovative work strategies, which in turn allow us to develop projects with greater complexities. Tools such as CAD-CAM give us comprehensive control of each product prior to its completion, particularly throughout the construction process. ON-A relates to a wide variety ofclients, from management and major developers worldwide to individual customers. Each project has a unique design and is non-transferable, giving exclusivity to each client. Each project also demonstrates an understanding of the client’s intangible idea from the very beginning of the management process to the actual formation, digital to physical, of the product.
We want to highlight the spectacular work done by Aranguren & Gallegos Architects in the new ABC Drawing and Illustration Centre, which is willingto be a leading artistic space at an international level and also a symbol of Madrid’s culture. So we start the process and from our studio, we can tell you that the installation in the old factory building on the street Amaniel must be “appropriate for a historic building, but without sacrificing the character required for a contemporary centre with a diverse range of culture and art linked to most avant-garde institutions of our time.
ORIGIN AND DETAILS
The existing building can be accessed from two streets that connect with an inner courtyard. One of the entrances on the street Amaniel is now found underneath a body built lengthwise from a tall buildingthat closes the courtyard to the street. From this side, the main entrance to the new ABC Centre can be seen. We are told that the restructuring mentioned of this body was done as a large ‘beam’ of translucent glass that operates like a lintel of a passage opening into the courtyard. As a result, the café is found inside and light will pass through a glass floor upon which you walk as you enter the courtyard down to the basement of the new centre. To create a space or ‘atrium’ for the new institution, enabling it to express its contemporary and modern character, it was proposed, inthis solution, to use the courtyard as that space, a hall used to access the building and act as the lobby prior to entering.
ARCHITECTURAL MECHANISM
The architectural mechanism used to achieve this objective is based on the creation of a stressed vacuum, a dihedral space; formed by the horizontal plane of the floor of the courtyard and the vertical plane of the interior face of the former factory. They told us that “both planes were pierced with similar triangular holes, allowing light into the spaces created. Photo: Jesús Granada.
In this issue, we are going into the details of the excellent refurbishment completed of a building in Lisbon. In this way, the intervention of José Adriâo aimed for the adaptation and refurbishment of a “Pombalino” building, turning it into a short term rental unit (‘Baixa House’)
A GREAT PROJECT
Located in the heart of the historical area of Baixa, in Lisbon, the building sits at the corner of Rua dos Fanqueiros and Rua da Conceição. Since its construction in the late 18th century, there has been a great deal of changes and modifications that deeply modified the original character of its fractions. As project strategy and as a way of reducing costs, the decision was made to accept its existing heterogeneous character. The intervention was defined as a new addition in continuity with its history, incorporating the changes of different times and setting aside a possible restoration process. The main actions determined by the project were: the typological change from two apartments per floor to three, the introduction of an elevator, the substitution of all infrastructures and the conservation of a substantial part of construction elements, such as floor boards, the wooden ceilings in overlapping boards, internal and external tiles, window frames and doors. The trim needed and the “patches” were considered as such.
A COMPLETE TEAM
The intervention has been performed on a gross floor area of 391,70 m2. José Adriâo has been main architec and have worked with him for two teams. Stage 1: Tiago Mota (project manager), Luis Valiente and Rui Didier. Stage 2: Carla Gonçalves (project manager), Joâo Matos, Margarida Lameiro, Ricardo Aboim Inglez, Rute Ribeiro and Sara Jardim.

José Adriâo has been performed an amazing adaptation and refurbishment of a “Pombalino” building in the heart of of the historical area of Baixa, in Lisbon.
The restoration has been implemented in six phases, with tower stabilisation work and replacement of non-recoverable elements,rebuilding and strengthening inner areas of each of the two wings of the market. We are interested in the renovationwork in the Ribera Market in Bilbao, a job carried out by architect Emilio Doors with Jon Lecube Angulo and Jorge Moreno Higuera as key partners. The intervention, which has been completed with the city of Bilbao, covered 9,993 m2 and had a material budget of 18,379,632 euros. We contacted the studio and they provided us with the following details about the features of this refurbishment.
BACKGROUND
The Ribera Market in Bilbao was constructed on the site where traders always stopped to sell their products. Until 1928, construction tended to follow the 19th-century European trend of large central markets built with new iron technologies. In 1929, the current building was built, designed by architect Peter Ispizua Bermeo, which uses an eclectic style combining a neoclassical composition with a rationalist structural basis.
THE STRUCTURE
The structure of this building is one of the first to use the technique of reinforced concrete in Bilbao, and was done by a progressive lightening of the frame in height, 6 x 6 metres in the basement, 12 x 6 on the first floor and 12 x 12 on the top floor. The Market is 130 m long and 30 m wide and has three basilica floors, one of which is half-buried. It has a symmetrical composition of five parts: a central body crowned by an octagonal skylight marking the maximum height of the building, two wings, and two apses, framed by four towers. The building underwent several transformations before reaching its current state, the last of which came in 1983 after the floods. The Bilbao City Council proposed a comprehensive reform of the Ribera Market, which would be carried out by Emilio Gates as chief architect. At first, in the drafting stage of the Construction, a study was requested to scientifically diagnose the state of the structure. The report issued revealed unexpected and serious problems in the existing structure: general deterioration of the reinforcement due to chlorides, and a lack of support capacity in the structure in view of the legislation in force. So, knowing this information, the rehabilitation project suffered a major strategic shift since the Ribera Market required a larger intervention to replace almost all of the structure. They replaced the parts that are basically structural and preserved the eight towers together with frames that bind them to the façade. In addition to contributing to the composition of the building, they are the only elements that can be emptied, stabilised, and recovered. The entire restoration was implemented in six stages, corresponding to tower stabilization work and replacement of non-recoverable elements, reconstruction, and strengthening of internal positions for each of the two wings of the market. And is time to talk about program of needs.
“We have dreamed about the pinkest and most positive and open place in the world. COME CHECK IT OUT”
This incredibly innovative idea of combining a shop with a café is defned by an even more innovative and brave concept: that all the products sold here will be… pink!
This unique pink task was given to the architects from mode:lina studio, meanwhile the brand concept as well as the communication strategy was designed by the MINIMA studio. “We are open to everything that’s pink: positive meetings, events, conversations, pink objects and snacks. We know everything about the positive.”T he designers had to meet the challenge of combining a store full of varieties with a bustling cafe, and all of it on just 45 sq. meters!
The most optimal solution was to create a single, suspended structure that would function both as shelves and the ceiling. This way the exposition area was maximized while not using up the incredibly valuable space. “I want our guests to feel as if they have entered our home.”
To meet the dreams of the owners that were captured during long hours of conversations, the architects decided to substitute the traditional café counter with a kitchen island. A place that would be the center of the café’s life. This solution helped blur the line between the staf and the customers, introduce a homey feel, but also together with the modular tables, created a space easy to rearrange for diferent events.
To best expose the pink products, the architects used raw and contrasting materials such as plywood and mfp boards. Also they left the original brick wall, in some places patching it up with ceramic herringbone tiles.
Last Friday, on May 29th, the 8th Architecture and Interior Decoration Awards took place in Madrid. The same as previous years, it was organised by the PORCELANOSA Grupo in order to develop the creativity in interior design and architecture and promote the projects of renowned professionals and students, both national and international.
A historical architectural framework for an evening event in line with its guests
About 250 guests took part in this architecture and interior decoration cocktail dinner, which took place at the Ritz Hotel, a symbolic historical baroque-styled building, located in the Golden Triangle of Madrid, and whose façade is currently undergoing restoration work thanks to a project lead by the architect Rafael de La-Hoz.
Among the guests, there were jury members present, in other words, six prestigious international professionals in charge of the selection process for the awarded projects: Carlos Jiménez (Carlos Jiménez Studio), Fermín Vázquez (b720 Arquitectos), Marc Hertrich & Nicolas Adnet (Studio MHNA), Joanna Biggs (Ga-Design International) and Jordan Goldstein (Gensler).
The main protagonists of the evening event
The candidates in the Forward-looking Projects section had to design the main rooms of a Muse 74 yacht by Grupo Rodman, by making use of the materials and building systems from the eight firms of the Group. Kelpforest, by Nuria Paterna Lluch and David Canós Martí (N + D Arquitectura) were awarded with the first prize with regard to the Professionals Forward-looking Projects. They created a shelter inspired by the Kelp forest, with clear open spaces dominated by the Krion® solid surface and numerous functionalities. Whereas, and as far as the Students Forward-looking Projects are concerned, Imanol Etayo Cabrejas (a student of the CICE Design and Modelling of Architectural Projects Master, Madrid) was awarded the first prize. He created a design consisting of the union of two materials which fit in the different parts of the yacht, that is to say, the laminate wood and Krion®. With regard to the completed projects, the 8th PORCELANOSA Grupo Awards jury members have selected the “Casa Sardinera” by Ramón Esteve Estudio, a house that blends into the environment thanks to the materials, highlighting among others, the L’Antic Colonial bathroom items and the natural stone flooring, as well as the Krion® solid surface.
Finally, Porcelanosa Grupo gave a Special Contract Award to Zhao Xing Guo representing Peddle Thorp Architects study for the Shenzhen Zhongzhou Central Park project (China), which will feature a spectacular Krion® solid surface cover; and an Honorary Award to Belén Moneo Feduchi, for her international projection and contribution to the spreading of Spanish architecture worldwide.
What’s more, the company wanted to highlight the work of several companies for the use of Porcelanosa products in their projects, with awards to Studio ADPI, Agence Architeture Lancuit, 3 Deluxe Studio, Studio Khon Pedersen Fox and Cajamar._
This family house is located on a large plot in the Chiltern Hills between the villages of Skirmett and Hambleden. The Chilterns are part of the system of chalk downs that run through eastern and southern England with over twenty per cent covered by woodland, making it one of the most heavily wooded areas in the country. It has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty since 1965.
A UK property developer aspires to reinvent the country pile on a wooded chalk escarpment of more than 300 square miles in the Chiltern Hills. Enter the renowned British architect David Chipperfield, who has a reputation for being historically attuned and place specific (think the breathtaking reconstruction of Berlin’s Neues Museum). Chipperfield’s solution was to restore the landscape and rethink the country house concept.
The site was previously occupied by a two-storey house with a number of outbuildings including two garages, a summer house, large stables, a gym, a greenhouse and an outdoor swimming pool. This array of structures, together with hard landscaping, had accumulated in an ad hoc manner with little relationship to each other or to their environment. The proposed development presented an opportunity to restore a typical landscape by removing all of the conflicting features that had been superimposed onto it. In addition, the conifers and suburban planting were removed from within and around the original woodlands.
The mosaic of small fields is reinstated by restoring the native hedgerows, while areas of new native woodland planting have been identified and woodland management introduced.
Presenting itself as a large earthwork, like a dam sitting on the cusp of the slope, the single-storey house is embedded in the field facing south-west towards the valley. A generous loggia stretching across the whole width of the building mediates between the private interior space and the expansive landscape. The main living spaces open onto the loggia, while the ancillary rooms, further into the house, open onto smaller courtyards. All the courtyards differ in character and provide close contact with nature as opposed to the long-distance views into the valley from the main living quarters. The building, accessible via a ramp at the north-east of the site, is essentially buried in the landscape. The largest of the four (sunken) courtyards becomes a working area reminiscent of the farmyards in the Hambleden Valley. The entrance courtyard provides access to the various areas of the house and connects to the land below via the loggia. This opening also separates the guest quarters from the main body of the house.
The concrete roof is covered with topsoil from the site and planted with native grass, while the walls are made of brick, left visible both inside and out. The white colour of the bricks and the lime mortar is reminiscent of the chalk beneath the house. On the one hand the house appears as a natural escarpment in the landscape, while on the other it affirms itself as a man-made structure expressed by the robust brick columns placed in front.

The Japanese artist is the inspiration of this new collection of Sicis that achieves cross the line between interior and art and evokes the naturalistic and figurative oriental art. Ito Jakuchu developed a style with delicated paintings of flora and fauna and mixed colors.
With this collection Sicis finds a new way of spreading and reaching new areas of interior design that are perfect to adorn our homes. This is not the first time that the company it is inspired on an artist. And that is that Sicis has another collection inspired to the paints of Gustav Klimt.
To these collections it is important to add others such as “Skyline”, “The Rug” or “Sicis Gold”.
The company has participated in the renovation of ‘La Quinta Inn & Suits’, a hotel located in Texas that has been taken by a new generation which wanted to renew its design.
This is a very important project that has involved de participation of the interior design studio ‘5G Studio’ and the architecture firm ‘Mayse & Associates’. The first has designed the new prototype named ‘El Sol’ with bright colours for the exterior and unique shapes and textures. After this, the project added the collaboration of ‘Mayse & Associates’ which played a key role in the selection of the material that has given life to the new concept of the hotel.
NEOLITH, THE BEST MATERIAL
For this project, the architects needed solutions which do not sacrifice fundamental elements of the original design. The architecture firm chose ceramic tiles as a leading material but the saw that they weren’t able to reproduce de exact colour. It is for that reason that finally the leader provider of products of natural stone, Holland Marble, proposed the use of a Sintered Compact Surface. Finally and after different studies, the design team and the construction crew decided that Neolith was the perfect material for this project.
Roger Sotelo, architect of ‘Mayse & Associates’ highlights that «All the crew responded since de begining to all of our concerns. Both Neolith and Holland Marble were exceptional during its collaboration and execution of the design concept».
From ‘Renovation Today’ we talk about the last project developed by Fran Silvestre Architects and in which every detail is taken care of. In this case the project is the Aluminium Houe, a single-family home which counts with a constructed suface of 958 m2 of a total of 1770 m2.
Located in Madrid, this house is surrounded by a garden with big trees and incorporates a big swimming pool. An horizontal piece with a metal nature that creates the effect of count with a single floor and which constrast in a perfect way with the trees that we have mentioned before.
Moreover, this house has a day zone, understood as a base emerging from the same natural stone which paves part of the plot. Talking about the night zone, this is located over the day zone, incorporating views to the north and south and with shaded terraces in which to enjoy the exterior. Other items that we can highlight in this house are the stairs and the interior centered atrium which distribute the rooms, establishing a functional hierarchy in which all spaces open up to the garden.
On the other hand, this is a house which highlights for its minimalism and for the black and white that are the dominant colours. A project with big dimensions that has required the participation of a large group of professionals y that has incorporated all kind of details as, for example, radiant floor.
So, this is a house perfect to enjoy all the year.

ALMA es un escondite divertido, dinámico, estimulante, inspirador, cosmopolita, en el que puedes escuchar un concierto de jazz, asistir a exposiciones de pintura, desfiles de moda, eventos de marca o estrenos de cine con las socias en primera fila. El club se instaló en este palacete construido en 1910 sobre el Jardín de la Rosa y en el que residió la acaudalada familia Gosálvez o Carlos Jiménez Díaz junto a su esposa Conchita Rábano.
El lugar es un reducto sereno y elegante en pleno bullicio ordenado del barrio de Salamanca madrileño a un paso del Retiro. Tras subir aquella escalera se accede a un espacio en el que una vidriera deja entrar la luz con magistral poderío y nos abre las puertas a una sucesión de salones con una decoración de principios de siglo. Paredes, molduras, mármoles, habitaciones con techos imposibles, suelos llenos de mosaicos preciosistas, pinturas elegantes, sillones cómodos de diseño y colores suaves que combinan con cuidados papeles pintados…
Exquisito sería la palabra para definir el paseo por los 1.700 metros cuadrados de este entorno envolvente y, al mismo tiempo, confortable. “El espacio es un homenaje a la mujer y, por eso, debe ser una extensión de la casa de las socias o, cuanto menos, deben sentirse como si estuvieran en ella”, explica Javier, uno de los primeros socios y cabeza pensante del proyecto.
Esta exposición itinerante organizada por ‘tureforma’ nace para dar respuesta a la necesidad de un espacio donde se genere y se hable de reforma, convirtiéndose en el perfecto punto de encuentro para que las diferentes firmas que lideren la exposición tengan tiempo para detallar sus propuestas y cerrar acuerdos con los prescriptores que acudan a lo largo de estas dos semanas. El OBJETIVO es que el canal de la prescripción se sienta cómodo y perciba como propia una Muestra que se lleva a cabo pensando en que pueda conocer y proponer nuevos productos.
Uno de los objetivos es conseguir una interacción realmente productiva y profunda entre firma y prescriptor asistente. De este modo, las empresas participantes dispondrán de una zona privada y exclusiva para el networking, un espacio habilitado para que los clientes puedan expresar sus necesidades concretas y los responsables de cada firma puedan ofrecer asesoramiento personalizado y soluciones detalladas. ARQ-DECÓ, un evento que no te puedes perder.
