The Arrecife Gran Hotel & Spa is a classic style hotel on the island of Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands. Better known as the Gran Hotel, at 54 metres high and 15 storeys, it holds the record for being the tallest building on the island since it was built in 1970. The five-star hotel, which completed its renovation in April 2021, will reopen in September with fully upgraded suites.

The architect Quirina Morales is responsible for the refurbishment and interior design of these suites. For the bathroom update, she opted for a white material which contrasts with the blue of the sea and is resistant, but at the same time aesthetically pleasing. Silestone Calacatta Gold was chosen as a nod to the classic style of the hotel, which is over 40 years old.

The fifty Calacatta Gold countertops have been designed with a very modern cut that allows towels to be hung, thus avoiding the use of other elements and improving functionality. The washbasins –also in white– have been placed over the countertop, giving a neat and modern effect.

In June 2020, Gustavo Marasca, a young and promising Brazilian architect, designed this beautiful private home in Rio Claro, São Paulo, Brazil. In only six months he successfully completed the construction and interior design with a stunning result. The most striking feature of this project is that, in addition to the perfect execution of the building in terms of façade and exterior volume, the architect has worked on a very careful interior design, with a selection of materials and qualities.

And in this selection of finishes, hyper-modern materials such as Dekton Trilium and Silestone Noka are combined with other more classic and timeless ones such as Dekton Natura, Dekton Rio Blanco and Silestone White Zeus.

The kitchen is a spectacular space with its large-format Dekton Natura worktop with rounded edges, which can seat eight people and can be used for showcooking. The material chosen is reminiscent of Carrara marble, but without the disadvantages of marble, which is not suitable for use in wet areas.

It is no coincidence to find up to nine applications of Dekton and Silestone in the same project. Rast Grup’s architect Tuğce Özdoğan is in love with Cosentino products and has used them extensively on interior and exterior walls, worktops and on the reception desk of these offices.

For the wall cladding, the designer has combined the sand and beige colours and marbled finishes of Dekton Arga, Dekton Royal Reef and Dekton Taga, with the grey and black shades and industrial finishes of Dekton Milar and Dekton Spectra.

This beige and black combination pattern has also been used on the worktops and other horizontal surfaces, but with different finishes: Dekton Edora, from the Natural collection, provides the cream colour while Dekton Radium adds the black and industrial touch. The only concession to classicism comes from Silestone Snowy Ibiza, a bright white with very subtle grey veins.

The result is a very attractive combination of textures and nuances from two unique shades.

The LD Sevilla hotel is located in the north of the Andalusian capital, next to a service area and motorway exit. This strategically located hotel does not compromise on style, offering its guests a distinguished experience based on quality services and attractive designs. VAU Arquitectura has been in charge of the hotel’s design. The architecture studio relied on Dekton’s ultra-compact surface for a multitude of applications, using 3,100 m2 in the building.

From the exterior façade, which must withstand high levels of solar radiation, to the always busy common areas, such as restaurants and toilets, Dekton’s unique features perfectly meet the needs of a bustling hotel.

TOPA Sukaldería is located in the heart of San Sebastián´s Gros district (Northern Spain), and occupies a total space of 496 m2, divided over two floors. The ground floor is occupied by the kitchen and the dining lounge, while the bathrooms are located in the basement. Clarity of space, contrasts, an upbeat, cosy environment, myriad ways of welcoming customers, high-quality decorative and architectural products, and the use of recycled materials are just some of the key concepts that define this project.

The ultra-compact surface Dekton, and the ecological Silestone Eco Line range were chosen for this design. More than 400 m2 of Cosentino products were used in this inspirational culinary project. The spectacular kitchen and dining lounge are located on the ground floor. In this large space, the emphasis is on the visual contrast between the natural, marbled finishes of the Dekton Kelya and Dekton Aura tones, and the wooden planks and metallic textures that permeate the entire room.

W listopadzie 2020 otwarto pierwszy w Polsce hotel Crowne Plaza - The Warsaw HUB. Nowoczesny, wielofunkcyjny HUB na warszawskiej Woli to miejsce, obok którego nie można przejść obojętnie. Dwa wieżowce połączone pomostem kryją w sobie centra konferencyjne, strefy relaksu, hotele i powierzchnie biurowe. Niedawno otwarto tu jeden ze znajdujących się w centrum hoteli: Crowne Plaza. Projekt jego wnętrz powierzono doświadczonej w podobnych realizacjach warszawskiej pracowni Tremend.

Motywem przewodnim we wnętrzach Crowne Plaza jest Wisła, jej wyjątkowa dzika natura, słońce i piasek nadwiślańskich plaż. Szacunek do natury w realizacji przejawia się nie tylko w nawiązaniach do przyrody, ale także w świadomym doborze materiałów. W strefach wspólnych wykorzystano między innymi konglomerat kwarcowy Silestone od Cosentino. Filozofią Cosentino jest rozwój w kierunku gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, a materiały firmy charakteryzują się wyjątkową twardością oraz odpornością na zużycie.

“We decided to choose Silestone because, first of all, we want to cooperate with producers that respect the natural environment. Besides, this material fits perfectly into our main theme. The veins presented on the slabs bring to mind a river, which is in the center of our project”, explains architect Magdalena Federowicz-Boule, CEO of Tremend.

Scandic The Reef is more than just a hotel. Its attractions and facilities which are typical of a water park plus its Caribbean decor, offer a completely unique experience to visitors. Everything at Scandic The Reef is a journey into nature and fun, where you can hear the sound of rushing water around every corner. This tranquillity is also present in the cloakrooms, where the H-Line washbasins by Silestone can be found.

The hotel’s interior designers were looking for a material that was both highly resistant and visually appealing. The H-Line washbasins by Silestone, in Aluminio Nube, provide a clean and neat appearance, including features such as mitred edges, which give a smooth finish to the entire structure.

In addition to its beautiful design, Silestone is easy to maintain and clean, it withstands daily use and does not lose its properties or colour consistency over time.

Valdebebas 127 is a residential project with an exclusive location along the edge of Valdebebas Central Park in northern Madrid. The development consists of 201 two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, all with double orientation, views of the park, storage rooms and parking spaces.

This project’s most notable features are its façade, thermal and acoustic efficiency, as well as its incorporation of the latest technology and application of innovative, next-generation materials for construction, architecture and design, such as Dekton and Silestone.
