ONCE Group Spain have commissioned Domus Arquitectos studio to modernise an old industrial building in Camino de Hormigueras, Madrid. The aim of restoring the building is to house the logistics centre of the ONCE printing plant, a cutting-edge robotic plant.

Technology and innovation are the guiding elements of the project. With these two ideas in mind, and without forgetting the visual and functional aspects, the studio has chosen Dekton as the leading material for the different spaces.

American golf course designer Kyle Philips designed Golf Club Bernardus in Cromvoirt (The Netherlands). An extraordinary prestigious project for which architect Pieter Laureijs developed the furniture in collaboration with Borek outdoor furniture. They chose the ultra-compact Dekton surface both for its attractive design, which fitted in with the aesthetic line of the project, and its high resistance outdoors.

Golf Club Bernardus, situated in the rural area of Brabant in the south of the Netherlands, is the newest golf course of The Netherlands and has the allure to become the number 1 golf court of the country. Next door to the country club a restaurant with a terrace has been realized which accommodates not only as a ‘19th hole’ for golf players, but is also open for public. The restaurant Noble Kitchen with adjacent terrace on Bernardus is being run by Michelin star chef Edwin Kats of restaurant Noble located in Den Bosch (1 Michelin star).

Located in the heart of Riga, Origo shopping centre has recently been transformed into a hub of intense economic and social activity.

The building has been extended with six new floors with offices, restaurants and an underground car park. Cosentino ultra compact surface, Dekton, has been used for the flooring and stairs. The key reasons for choosing Dekton have included its BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) high score, and its great resistance to the high pedestrian traffic.

Thanks to Cosentino’s Dekton iD service, it has been possible to create a bespoke “clock” design which has been used on floors, creating an avant-garde space.

They shape our sense of space, sustain and support – yet walls tend to remain largely ignored. But the “The Wall” is different: this wall system can be designed on an individual and flexible basis and offers more functions than a Swiss army knife. The innovative product comes from the designer kitchen manufacturer Orea from Zurich, which has just opened a new showroom in Chur. Its subsidiary of the same name in Regensburg (Germany) handles international sales. As managing shareholder, Johannes Falk has significantly influenced the development of “The Wall”.

Located in formerly barren and unattractive land, Tanah Merah Country Club has become one of the most exclusive and well-known country clubs in Asia in recent years. Thanks to its luxurious facilities, designed to the smallest detail, together with its two golf courses good enough to host championships, the club has become a benchmark venue that welcomes world-famous celebrities among its top clients.

The latest refurbishment of Tanah Merah, recently made by the interior design company Indez Design, upgraded most of the Club’s facilities – changing rooms, toilets, lounges and outdoor dining areas – all from a very clear perspective: to maintain the stylish atmosphere of the areas and to enable easy maintenance of much-used everyday facilities such as the washbasins or the terrace tables. Dekton and Silestone has been selected because of their technical features and attractive designs.

First impressions are so important in business. That is why it was worth choosing the right solution to design the reception area of One South County, a building that attracts business and talent in equal measure. The wide and imposing reception desk has been covered in 20 mm Kira Dekton, a colour and format that captures the attention of all those who visit the premises.

Dekton is an ideal solution for commercial projects in spaces that experience intense activity and high traffic, thanks to the resistant nature of the material. It is highly resistant to scratches and stains, meaning it can also be easily cleaned. Another important highlight is the fact that the slabs can be manufactured in large formats or custom sizes, offering architects and designers a high level of precision.

Aliağa is an industrial district of the Turkish city of Izmir, principally home to oil refineries, lubricant factories, shipyards and steel manufacturing plants. All kinds of chemical particles can be found in an environment like this – in the air, ground and even the rain. These composites can easily damage almost any kind of surface.

The architects in charge of designing the new headquarters for Open Fuchs, a leading lubricant manufacturer, were clear about the critical importance of the materials used for the façade as well as the interior facilities. The project required a surface that could withstand abrasive environments while fulfilling the aesthetic requirements of a multinational company. Dekton proved to be the perfect material.

This building, visible form the De Singel (R10) bypass and leading towards Amberes Sur, will not go unnoticed. The south side of the ’t Hooghe Huys building has received a complete revamp, giving it a unique and attractive look thanks to the use of Dekton Danae facade panels from Cosentino. The project, managed by VME Brederodestraat 184, was carried out by the Stramien architectural firm. Throughout the project, the Amberes firm relied on the support of Gevelinzicht, an engineering company specialising in facade renovation.

But ’t Hooghe Huys was already a familiar figure for Tine Durnez, designer from Stramien. “I lived in that building until three years ago”, she says. “So I completely understood first hand the issues the south facade had experienced for a long time, especially in terms of insulation and waterproofing. The ageing facade, built in the 70s, appeared to be built in natural stone, but further investigation revealed that it was constructed using moulded cement panels stuck to the structure. Problems began to appear relatively quickly, so a metallic cladding was installed on the facade.
