STARBOX 4160: Roller Blind Excellence
Mottura introduces STARBOX 4160: a system that marries sophisticated design and cutting-edge technology, for ultimate control of light and temperature.
Developed by Officina82, Selucente is an experimental project to restore an alpine settlement in Garessio, in the Ligurian Alps, Italy. With the aim to enhance marginal mountain areas, the studio created a holiday facility: a place where, at 1,000 m above sea level, architecture and landscape come together.
The project has seen – and are still in progress – the re-functioning of a number of stone buildings of the village, made up of a total of 13 dwellings made of poor materials, and the construction of new wooden modules. In the first phase, the former church was restored to become the central core of the place and to host common areas, while barn and stable, future accomodation for guests, will be renovated at a later time.
Selucente houses two wooden micro-architectures, StarsBox and GlamBox. The first one, equipped with an opening roof to observe the stars, is a temporary landscape installation. GlamBox, designed exclusively for this project, is inspired by local barns and huts: a two-level accomodation module that includes a sliding roof conceived to blend inside and outside.
