Locanda la Concia rises above Reggio Emilia, Italy, as a penthouse retreat shaped by Eligo Studio within a long-held family building. The project revives a deteriorated property as a contemporary locanda, where restaurant and guest rooms share a narrow vertical volume that balances inherited character with a fresh interior attitude. Guests enter an unassuming structure and move upward into an “Italian riad” that quietly references Marrakech while remaining rooted in local tradition.
The Fienile Cocchi residential project converted a barn that has a history dating back several centuries. Located in Reggio Emilia, Italy, the house was designed by SBAR – Salonia Baldin Architettura. The team restores a historic 300 sqm (3,229 sq ft) barn while introducing a contemporary glazed volume, allowing natural light to fill the spaces. While Joao Martins created the interior design, the project was completed in 2024.
