“Luxury and elegance”: these are the keywords chosen by architect Stefano Sanfilippo for the Gold Suite & Spa project. Undertaken by SS STUDIO, the project involved the total renovation of a property in the old centre of Palermo to create two suites, one super suite and one for day use. In spite of its minimalist style the result is definitely luxurious and exclusive.
The materials and finishes used are in earthy colours, with tasteful, effective touches of gold and black. The floor and wall tiles are from the Timeline collection of concrete-effect porcelain stoneware tiles in Taupe colour, contrasting with the dark slate colour wall coverings of the bathrooms, combined with matt black sanitary fittings and basins with satin-finish steel taps.
The rooms are equipped with sauna, open shower and hydromassage tub with chromatherapy.
Each room’s unique personality is enhanced by the use of wallpaper on the wall at the bottom of the bed, which is different in every room.
Bespoke furnishings, including lamps, pendant lights, suitcase stands, mini bar, counter, bathroom furniture and nightstands, make the project even more luxurious and unique. The corridor is distinctively designed with a thin blade of light which accentuates its length, interrupted by a spotlight emitting a narrow tapered beam by each door. The super suite has the same floor covering but contains its own private spa, with a double hot tub on a raised platform, TV, an emotional shower with vapours and a spacious relaxing rain and cascade shower.
Each room features a “golden wall”, giving them a uniform design language; they also have the same floor covering, in Timeline concrete-effect tiles. The Ceramica del Conca concrete-effect collection is perfect in locations where strong colours and gold are used, due to its ability to add airiness to the entire interior. Timeline is manufactured in porcelain stoneware in seven sizes and seven colours, and also in large slabs of 120x260 cm. The new Blind Mosaic and Botanical and Seventy-Nine pattern tiles are now available in addition to the Grey, White, Beige, Taupe, Canyon, Sun and Nightfall shades.
