Accademia Tadini on Lake Iseo reborn with Isotec
Brianza Plastica's Isotec thermal insulation system played a key role in the restoration of Palazzo Tadini, a masterpiece of Lombard neoclassical architecture and a landmark of the art world.
Winking at the growing focus on glamping tourism, a new resort in the Costa Rican jungle gives birth to a constellation of "tree houses," in the words of the architecture firm Archwerk that designed them, to magnify a supposedly regenerative contact experience in wilderness.
Constructed from local woods and assembled on site using metal joints welded during construction, the cocoons do not recur to masonry walls, but use fabric to create an osmotic filter with the natural surroundings, maximizing exposure to the light, noise and smells of the forest. Named “Coco”, the cocoons are inspired by biomorphic forms and are designed to be potentially replicated along the steep slope of the land. Raised above ground level, they are connected by walkways, encouraging passage from one nucleus to the other. Inside, the huts feature essential furnishings and are organized around a bed magnified by the positioning of a platform and characterized by a unique decorative element, a woven metal mesh headboard.
Developed within a two and a half hectare plot of land not far from the Pacific coast, the resort integrates two other receptive structures designed by the architectural firms Refuel (Art Villa) and Formafatal (Atelier Villa), which also coordinated the creative direction of the projects of all the villas.
