Ein Haus im Dialog mit der Natur

Versteckt, an einem bewaldeten Hang nahe Basel gelegen, erhebt sich ein kristallförmiges Gebäude. Es ragt gerade hoch genug aus einer kleinen Lichtung, um mit den umgebenden Bäumen auf Augenhöhe zu bleiben. Die „Casa Forest“ ist das Zuhause einer fünfköpfigen Familie, die die Kunst der klaren Linie ebenso liebt wie die Natur. Dies spiegelt sich auch im Ausblick von der Wohnküche in den Garten.

Von der Quartierstraße aus ist das Haus kaum zu sehen. Erst wenn man auf den hellen Natursteinplatten aus heimischem Gneis etwa 20 Meter an der Garage vorbei auf die L-förmige Parzelle läuft, lässt sich der facettenreiche Bau, zurückversetzt zwischen den Bäumen, entdecken. "Die erdfarbene Außenhaut und die kantige Volumetrie des Gebäudes stehen in einem ständigen Dialog mit der natürlichen Umgebung», so Juan Gonzalez von DALUZ GONZALEZ ARCHITEKTEN. «Wir haben hier im Dialog mit den Bauherren versucht, einen Kontrast wie auch eine Harmonie mit der Natur herzustellen – außen wie innen».

Großformatige Feinsteinzeug-Platten in changierendem Dunkelbraun umhüllen – unten und oben geschliffen wie ein Edelstein – das siebeneckige Gebäude und die nestähnliche Dachterrasse. Durchbrochen wird die Fassade von großen, teils raumhohen Fensterfronten. Die Südseite ist nahezu gänzlich verglast und lässt das Tageslicht weit ins Innere. Im offenen Ess- und Wohnbereich sind die Wände in kühlem Sichtbeton ausgeführt. Als Gegenpol dazu sind die Fensterverkleidungen und Regale aus honigfarbenem Eichenholz gefertigt, das auch als Bodenbelag im Treppenhaus und in den Schlafzimmern eine natürliche Wärme vermittelt.

Silestone Blanco Zeus, Harmonie im Herzen der Natur

Die großzügige Ess- und Koch-Zone öffnet das Erdgeschoss zum Garten hin. Der Übergang ist dank geschosshoher Verglasung nahezu unsichtbar. So hat man einen unverstellten Ausblick ins Grüne, wenn gekocht wird oder die Familie am schlichten Eichenholz-Tisch zum Essen zusammenkommt. «Die Küche sollte weder abgetrennt sein noch mitten im Raum stehen, sondern eine Verbindung zum Wohnbereich schaffen», sagt Juan Gonzales. «So kombinierten wir eine Kochzeile mit viel Stauraum und eine Kücheninsel, die die facettenreiche Form des Gebäudes aufgreift und einen hellen, schwebenden Übergang zum Essbereich schafft.»

«Die besonders geformte Kücheninsel ist auf beiden Längsseiten nutzbar» erklärt Ian Hunziker von der SCHREINEREI HUNZIKER. «Im Kern basiert das Möbel aus Standardelementen, die wir individuell angepasst haben. So befindet sich im Inneren des schwebenden Flügels eine stabile, hoch belastbare Galgenkonstruktion, an der die 60 cm breiten Schrankelemente befestigt sind. Die Fronten aus 19 mm starken MDF-Platten mit leicht abgerundeten Kanten sind in mattem Weiß nach RAL 9016 lackiert. Die Arbeitsflächen und die Rückwand der Kochzeile bestehen aus Silestone im Farbton Blanco Zeus Extreme.

Cosentino bietet Silestone in über 80 Designs an. «Aber nur Blanco Zeus Extrem aus der Mythology-Kollektion hatte den gewünschten Weisston, der ebenso zeitlos wie energetisch warm wirkt. Der Bauherr war begeistert», erinnert sich Ian Hunziker, der sich von SCHÜRMANN NATURSTEINE die silikatische Mieraloberfläche passgenau zuschneiden lassen ließ. «Silestone bietet eine hohe Strapazierfähigkeit und Farbbeständigkeit und ist einfach zu reinigen, was für Küchen, Bader und Möbel optimal ist. Es besitzt zudem eine einzigartig schöne und glänzende Oberfläche, in der sich in der „Casa Forest“ nun die Bäume schemenhaft spiegeln.»

The new look of the Meliá Hotel in Milan

After the complete redesign of several areas, including the lobby, restaurant, meeting rooms and bathrooms, one of the landmark hotels in the Italian city of Milan is sporting a fresh new look. The renovation, carried out jointly by Spanish architect Álvaro Sans and Vittorio Grassi Architects, has given a new look to the Meliá Milano, a hotel located in Via Masaccio, very close to the trendy area known as City Life, the new centre of luxury shopping in the city.

The functional and architectural approach of the renovation project led to the rebirth of this 20-year-old hotel, opening up spaces by creating a new, spacious and flexible layout of the common areas. The interior gardens, high skylights and contemporary use of materials and textures give the bar, restaurant and co-working area a sophisticated feel.

A chic colour

Style and functionality are the main elements of this project in which natural materials such as marble, wood and green shades have been combined with Cosentino surfaces. Specifically, Silestone Eternal Marquina was used for the cladding and countertops of the bathrooms, the alcoves and furniture in the meeting rooms, and the worktops and several tables in the buffet and bar area. “The Suede finish creates a unique feeling of comfort”, says Vittorio Grassi. “Furthermore, its appearance, imitating the veins and nuances of precious exotic marbles, fits well with the Spanish marbles in the common areas and the style of Vescom’s fire retardant curtain fabrics”, he further says.

“Silestone wall claddings, in this case in a glossy finish, allowed us to achieve the style we were looking for but with an ease of maintenance that meets the hygiene standards you would expect in a five star hotel”.

Hygiene standards and easy maintenance

In addition to the Suede finish, polishing has been applied in the bathroom area. “Functionality is a key element of hotel management and, in the case of business accommodation, bathroom areas can get very crowded”, explains the architect. “The Silestone wall claddings in a glossy finish allowed us to achieve the style we were looking for but with an ease of maintenance that meets the hygiene standards you would expect in a five star hotel”, he adds. As a result, the combination of luxury, beauty and technical properties for high traffic areas is perfect.

A company kitchen full of character

This US company’s aim was to create unique and timeless common and kitchen areas at its North Carolina headquarters. Both the client and the architecture studio in charge of the project, Gensler, were looking for a material that would be aesthetically powerful and at the same time stand the test of time, bearing in mind that these are areas of heavy traffic and daily use.

Both fell in love with Dekton Rem when they saw a sample of it. The architects knew right away that it was the perfect material, but it lacked something to add sophistication. So instead of using Rem in a matt finish, they came up with the idea of a polished finish. Thus Lincoln was born – a new and original colour designed specifically for this project. This was made possible thanks to the features of Dekton iD, a technology that allows for unlimited customisation of Dekton slabs and the creation of unique textures, colours and patterns.

Inspired by marble

This new colour, which enhances Rem’s characteristic brown and grey vein pattern with golden hints, has been used in various areas of the kitchen, as well as in rest areas. More specifically, the worktops, island and bar feature these textures inspired by the elegant white marble, reminiscent of natural Calacatta Lincoln itself. Its shiny, polished finish emphasises its sleek, modern design that blends perfectly with the dark cabinets and stainless steel appliances. As a result, the space gives a sense of calm and timelessness to the common areas of these offices.

Caffè Tarentum reopens its doors

In the Italian city of Taranto, Apulia, there is a legendary meeting place that is now coming back to life after the renovation carried out by the architect Lello Nigro. Caffè Tarentum is a historic café restaurant that has been run by the same family for 35 years. The owners want to freshen up this place that offers coffee, pastries and home-made ice cream.

This renovation, carried out by Scrimieri Lab under the supervision of Nigro, aimed to create a warm, welcoming, restrained but elegant space. Materials such as Canaletto Walnut, Dekton by Cosentino and an array of natural matt lacquered finishes have been used to add a sophisticated and very comfortable character to the café.

Dark marble with an elegant soul

Dekton Kelya was chosen for the bar top, tables, wall cladding and the background of the brand logo. The front band of the worktop also runs along the main hall, and continues to clad the service access doors in this stylish colour. Inspired by dark marble with light veins, Kelya gives a special and personal touch to this space.

The perfect material for a café restaurant

Keyla is the perfect material for surfaces such as the tables and bar of this café restaurant, as it ensures durability and a flawless appearance. It is highly scratch and stain resistant, easy to maintain and withstands high temperatures without damaging its surface.

Design with character

This eight storey building, whose façade stands out in the landscape, is situated in the residential neighbourhood Aguas Férreas, in Lugo (Spain). For its design, “one of the basic premises of the developer, Dmanán Viviendas, was to design and execute an environmentally friendly building with an appearance that would stand out from its surroundings”, explains architect Patricia Montes from Aringal SL, the architecture and engineering firm in charge of the project. Therefore, from the very beginning of the project, Aringal’s work focused on combining the client’s objectives with the philosophy of its own company, which is very committed to incorporating sustainability into its projects.

The majestic appearance of the façades and their clean design gives this building a unique character. “The straight forms, terraces, window openings and materials used are its unique features”, says architect Patricia Montes. Two materials were combined in the façades of this building, creating a play of textures: Dekton Edora, a light grey shade with a minimalist look, and Corten steel.

Bildnummer 151 des aktuellen Abschnitts von Aguas férreas von Cosentino Deutschland

The perfect match

“Dekton and Corten steel, a material whose colour changes continuously throughout the oxidation process due to the effect of light and atmospheric conditions, are combined in the façades, giving the building the distinctive final appearance sought by the planners“, says Montes. Both materials form a perfect combination in compliance with the Guía de Colores y Materiales de Galicia (Guide of colours and materials of Galicia). “In this way, they contribute to the proper integration of the building into the landscape and to a better quality of public space”. Dekton’s properties are also perfect to go hand in hand with Corten steel, a material that forms a surface oxide layer that could stain the materials used on the façade. “Something that does not happen with Dekton thanks to its zero porosity, a result of a sintering and ultra-compaction process exclusive to Cosentino”, says Montes.

Stylish shapes

According to the studio, orientation, views and location were decisive in the design of this unique building which houses a total of 32 flats. “The sunlight and the wide, clear views to the south-east determined the location of the building’s rooms, with the main rooms facing southeast and the sleeping areas facing north-west, opening onto the common space that gives access to the dwellings”. The south-east façade, with large terraces framed by Corten steel volumes running along the façade as an extension of the main rooms of the flats, opens up to the clear views of the valley. Meanwhile, the window openings on the north-west façade, also framed in Corten steel, are designed to optimise the capture of natural light.

Dekton, a resistant and sustainable surface

This innovative and forward-thinking project by Four Architects has created a relaxing and welcoming space at a Manchester office building for commuters to shower and change after cycling into work.  Dekton in 4mm Kreta was specified for the walls and 8mm Lunar for the flooring, both from the Industrial collection, along with 11 Exelis shower trays in Nolita and three Silence basins in Miami Vena.

Dekton is a carbon neutral product for its entire life cycle, making it a truly sustainable choice perfect for climate conscious contractors.  It’s also highly durable as it’s resistant to UV rays, scratches, stains and thermal shock and it can also be used for wall cladding and flooring both inside and out for a fully co-ordinated look

An easy-to-maintain surface

“When it came to designing the shower block and bike store, we knew we had to use durable, hardwearing materials,” explains Matt Atkinson, Director at Four Architects.  “At the same time, the space needed to be easy to clean, hygienic and low maintenance as well as offering commuters and workers somewhere comfortable, warm and welcoming for them to shower and change after cycling into work then get changed again to cycle home.  We really wanted bespoke basin and shower sizes and it was Cosentino’s cut to size facility that enabled us to achieve this."

The whole project took around 12 weeks in total and this included tiling, laying the Dekton surfaces, installing showers, basins and the bike store.  The result is a really forward-thinking space that commuters can use to help get their working day off to a great start.  The eco-credentials of the Dekton also help to give this Manchester city centre office building a sustainable building solution.

One of the largest hotels in Finland

The former Finnish State Railways VR headquarters building, originally designed by Eliel Saarinen and completed in 1909, has been transformed into a Scandic Hotel. The building is strongly tied to Helsinki’s railway station, an important part of the cityscape as well as culturally and historically significant, as it served as the railway administration headquarters for almost a century. The design work on the hotel was exceptionally demanding. The building is protected under the Act on the Protection of the Built Heritage.

Representing Eliel Saarinen’s Art Nouveau style, the former Finnish State Railways VR headquarters building was renovated and expanded into an elegant hotel with almost 500 rooms as well as meeting and event facilities. The cultural and historical landmark’s demanding renovation and change of use was carried out in cooperation with the Finnish Heritage Agency and the city of Helsinki.

The renovation was an exceptionally demanding project. Protected parts of the building include its entire exterior and roofing, as well as its main lobby, main staircase and hallways, the longest of which is 159 metres long.

Bildnummer 218 des aktuellen Abschnitts von Hotel Scandic Grand Central Finland von Cosentino Deutschland

Silestone, between the elegance and the versatility

The building’s extension was built according to the design proposition from the architectural office Futudesign, which won an architecture contest for this project in 2017. The new extension completes the elegant hotel complex, which also includes a beautiful courtyard and an outdoor terrace for the restaurant.

A first-class classic meeting place in the heart of the city, the hotel’s Bar G provides a colourful and cosy oasis for relaxing. Customers can enjoy refreshing drinks and stylish cocktails from the bar’s elegant Silestone Eternal Marquina countertops.

The stylish restaurant inspired by classic European cuisine features stunning matte black Silestone Eternal Marquina kitchen worktops. These Silestone worktops offer an excellent combination of elegance, quality and resistance.

Taking care of every last detail from the plate to the table

Food as a language of love. This is how renowned chef Aitor Jerónimo Orive sums up his passion for gastronomy, heritage of his homeland, the Basque Country, a region in northern Spain. “My grandparents are wonderful cooks and I always caught them in the kitchen, stirring a pot of hot, hearty and incredibly delicious food”, Aitor recalls. For Aitor, the logical step was to become a chef and open his own culinary space. So far, nothing unusual. Except that he opened his restaurant in Singapore, more than 11,000 kilometres away from home. It was there that he opened the Basque Kitchen, a Michelin-starred restaurant where Basque cuisine has become part of international cultural heritage.

Now, after several years of hard work that have earned him the appreciation of the general public, the Basque Kitchen by Aitor moves to the historic building The Fullerton Waterboat House, and does so under the guidance of the design studio Grey Matters, featuring Dekton as the reference material. “Moving from Amoy Street to its new location was a bold move that required careful planning. Redefining a brand that has such history and so much prestige is a task that must be handled with delicacy, sensitivity and the utmost care so as not to undermine all the hard work that the Chef and his team have put in over the last few years”, explains the studio.

Bildnummer 244 des aktuellen Abschnitts von Basque Kitchen By Aitor von Cosentino Deutschland

Dekton Keyla and Silestone Eternal D’or

The design was to be minimal, bespoke and ultra luxurious. The choice of Cosentino’s surfaces, Dekton Kelya and Silestone Eternal D’Or, for the bar and cabinets was a logical step that improved both the performance of the space and the visual quality of the design. The result is a well-balanced palette of materials that creates a luxurious setting with high performance kitchen and bar areas that allow the Chef and his team to shine.

Beyond their design and finishes, both Dekton and Silestone provide highly resistant and easy to maintain surfaces that are perfect for kitchens, whether at home or in Michelin-starred restaurants, where the pace of work is hectic and each space must be planned to the millimetre.

Dekton functionality for the most demanding juries

For the third year in a row, Cosentino is the reference partner of Team France in the famous international cooking competition Bocuse d’Or. This year, they have also contributed to the renovation of the kitchen of the ‘Refuge’ in Écully, located 10 kilometres from Lyon and very close to the Paul Bocuse Institute, where chef Davy Tissot’s team prepares for the competition.

Two Dekton colours of great beauty were used in the kitchen renovation: Kovic for the wall cladding and Laurent for the worktop. In choosing Dekton, cleanliness, functionality and excellent performance at high temperatures were paramount. The result is a kitchen that is modern and perfectly equipped, yet elegant and timeless at the same time.

Dekton Laurent is inspired by the natural stone of Port Laurent and features an almost dramatic finish with brown and golden veining. A very theatrical context for presenting the work to be judged by the best jury.

‘A good chef has to be well equipped to be able to make beautiful things. The benefits of Dekton in terms of hygiene are beyond reproach, combined with its elegance and visual beauty.’
Davy Tissot

Bocuse d’Or, the haute cuisine competition

The Bocuse d’Or is an international culinary competition created in 1987 by the renowned French chef Paul Bocuse, who passed away in 2018. The competition brings together 24 chefs from 24 countries every two years with several qualifying rounds and an enthusiastic audience. In five hours and thirty-five minutes each team must prepare two dishes. A jury of the world’s top chefs will deliberate on the winning team. This year, the finals will take place on September 26th-27th in Lyon.

Team France is led by chef Davy Tissot. The nomination of this Meilleur Ouvrier de France and chef-trainer of the starred Restaurant Saisons in Écully for the Bocuse d’Or Team France is based on technical mastery, hard work and creativity.

Over the last three years, Cosentino has been committed to work well done and the creativity of Team France and has been supporting them at the Bocuse D’Or. The redesign of their kitchen using Dekton as a technologically sophisticated and beautiful material is a good proof of this partnership, which is destined to last for a long time.
