JC House sits high above Riccione, Italy, with the Adriatic stretching beyond expansive glazing. Architect Giada Spano reimagines this apartment as a fluid penthouse where materials set the tone and light orders the rooms. The renovation redirects daily life toward the terrace and sea while dialing up tactility inside with steel, terracotta, and layered glass.
In the heart of Riccione, Italy – famed for its rejuvenating summer allure – the Black Stone Villa stands tall. This modern three-story house, masterfully designed by GLZ in 2019, marries transatlantic architectural hints with inspirations from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna.
Designed for a notable family from Bologna, its enchanting interplay of black and white serves as a canvas for celebrated artworks and renowned furniture brands.
