Caffe Vergnano plant has been devised with the focus on the environment typical of the corporate policy of the Piedmont based company.The new building is divided into two seperate but connected blocks: the first for a semi-products and packaging warehouse, and the second for production. The walls of the new plant are covered on the front and side by green climbing plants which provide the background for the caffe vergnano 1882 sign, testifying to the company's focus on eco-sustainability in its projects. The skin of the building is made of exposed cement in square panels, while the central block in black, the company's corporate colour, recalling the strict geometric design associated with caffe Vergnano's image.This "green philosophy" is further reinforced by treatment of the water used in production processes and reduction of waste and emissions.

Nature and light, wood and design. these are key elements in the design for a home and a private studio in Corvara, in the heart of the Val Badia. Colli Trevigiani Oak wood from Itlas has been chosen for the home and studio, using two different solutions with the same finish to infuse the home with an elegant, warm, exclusive atmosphere.
The studio alternates the vast perspective of large wooden floorboards in response to the need for beautiful but practical flooring.

The concept of the structure was first conceived in the first visit and from the memory of the place. The slab parks of the factory of ArcelorMittal, where placed just by the site and the idea of staring to play with this big pieces of steel is present from the first drawings and working models. It's important to get an alive building, a building to be lived, with walking roofs...a building that can be used much more than only the timetable of the industrial parkwhere is placed, a new space for Aviles. The steel structure and the installations are naked, in order to be shown in the different course that the Foundation Metal will teach in. Steel is the chosen material and main character on site because the building is for Metal Foundation but also in the memory of the place and of Aviles.
