A homage to traditional architecture in which local materials and ancestral forms of the past predominate.

Ideal Standard products and solutions were chosen for this design challenge, allowing the designers to rewrite the history of this dwelling while respecting its characteristics and adapting it to the needs of the present to give it a bright future.

A renovation project by studio Malara Architetti, Palazzo dei Principi Lanza di Trabia preserves the precious memory of the past and is an expression of Baroque architecture characterised by fine architectural elements.

Situated in southern Italy, in Calabria, in San Nicola Arcella in the province of Cosenza, overlooking the Gulf of Policastro in a setting of rare beauty, the Palazzo dei Principi Lanza di Trabia was the summer residence of Princes Spinelli di Belvedere and Princes Lanza di Trabia. Today it is not just a hotel, or resort or masseria, but a homage to traditional architecture in which local materials and ancestral forms of the past predominate.

The suites and bathrooms in the common areas feature products from Atelier Collections, a complete range of bathroom products born from the artistic direction with the Palomba Serafini Associati studio. Atelier Collections perfectly embodies Singular™, Ideal Standard's approach to bathroom design, created to provide cross-category, holistic and inspirational solutions from the rich catalogue of products that cross different styles, sizes, technical performance and specific functions, simplifying the choice process without sacrificing exclusive creativity and personal vision.

For this project, products from this unprecedented collection were chosen:

Extra washbasins characterised by timeless square design and geometric rigour. The design approach was oriented towards simplicity and sculptural purity, creating a product with fine lines that conveys a feeling of extreme lightness, ideal for a contemporary and minimalist bathroom but with personality, versatile and never predictable.

Joy Neo mixers that combine classic features with modern technology and innovative design. The collection, with its square design and cross or linear handles, is perfectly suited to all types of washbasins. Available in two finishes, in this design we find versions in Magnetic Grey, made using Physical Vapour Deposition (PDV) technology.

Blend Cube sanitaryware with a square geometry for an essential effect. The collection is available for WCs and bidets in floor-standing and wall-hung versions. The products also include the latest Ideal Standard innovations, including the revolutionary AquaBlade® flushing technology.

Shower enclosures from the Connect 2 collection and accessories that make the room functional and welcoming complete the design.
