In Rome, guests of the Hotel De Russie will be able to experience first hand the philosophy of the members of the Forte family. Their innate instinct led them to choose a unique location between Piazza del Popolo and Piazza di Spagna. With its pink exterior, its terraces and the lush Secret Garden, defined by Jean Cocteau as a paradise on earth, it is an absolutely iconic place and one of the most popular destinations in Rome for aperitif lovers. Their talent is also manifested in the ability to revisit in a modern key a famous place with an already consolidated tradition behind it: sculptures and decorations of Roman inspiration, touches of color and mosaics in Italian style embellish an essential, elegant and discreet environment.

CONCEPT

Designed by Giuseppe Valadier in 1814, the Hotel owes its name to the frequentations of the representatives of the Russian Imperial House and the Russian Romantic painters who stayed there. After a long restoration, it was reopened in 2000 under the sign of Rocco Forte Hotels, once again becoming one of the most exclusive Hotels in the Eternal City. Hotel De Russie is located between two of the most beautiful and famous squares in Rome, Piazza del Popolo and Piazza di Spagna, a few steps from the shopping streets. Thanks to its Secret Garden, also designed by Valadier according to the fashion of the time, with paths, rest areas and a chain of water that descends into three nymphaeum, it represents an oasis of quiet and greenery in the heart of the city. Hotel De Russie is an icon of essential luxury: its interior design is based on an eclectic style which, by blending styles, brings back that ‘melting pot’ typical of the most modern and advanced societies. A new concept that is realized in the choices of complete re-styling, in the purely aesthetic aspect and in the innovative use of space. In the living rooms as in the bedrooms, pastel shades have been favored, extremely delicate and relaxing, from green-blue to sand-ivory with sophisticated shades of amethyst. The furniture is linear, some of Asian inspiration with precious black and orange lacquers. The rooms and suites have enchanting views of the garden, Piazza del Popolo and the famous rooftops of Rome.

Project challenge

Historical building in the heart of Rome

Hotel De Russie, historical point of reference, was initially employed for different uses but subsequently unused for many years. The restoration job was very demanding, and it took a strong work organization and was necessary to articulate the site on two or three shifts for day to meet clients’ needs. This allowed to finish the work in only 10 month.

Offices spaces and furniture plays a vital role in employees’ well-being and productivity. In fact, it contributes significantly to giving fit-out solutions a real sense of identity. Based on the client needs in terms of design, image, budget and deadline, we provided a tailored professional office fit-out solution fully in line with architect requests and workspace standard and specifications. In Zespri Headquarters project, we paid a lot of attention in the creation of flexible spaces that are amenable for individual work, teamwork and conferences at the same time.

CONCEPT

The office entrance is characterized by an elegant waiting area with a custom reception desk and tailor-made wooden finishes boiserie. These functional elements divide the representative area from the operative space. On one side of the floor, there are all commons spaces as conference rooms, printing area, services and kitchenette. The big conference room is equipped with movable wall panels in order to be flexible. The kitchenette is for the use of daily employee activities or to enjoy a coffee with colleagues. On the other side there are all offices, most of them are bright and open space offices with workstations that can benefit from natural light from the windows. In the printing area, there are two phone boots with a workstation in order to do conference calls. White floor, wall and ceiling have been combined with light wood, glass and bright and intense green and yellow colours inspired by the corporate brand identity, and by the kiwis.

The architect: Guglielmo Ori

Trained at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Bologna, Guglielmo Ori boasts collaborations with leading architects of international renown, including Jan Kleihues of Berlin and Peter Eisenman, with a studio in New York. Also, he started a collaboration on cultural and theoretical activities as well as architectural international built projects and competitions.

Project challenge

A new branded office

For Zespri Headquarters the main issue was to create a project that corresponded to client’s expectations in every respect and that contributed to his organisation’s transformation. The new office space has foster fresh exchanges between the teams, promoting synergies. By integrating the brand’s visual identity, the spaces we designed reflect the company’s values and support ambitions. Working with the architect for the project, our design team has prepared samples for the materials and textures that have made the workspaces unique.

The most stimulating and challenging aspect in this project was the management of the site phase in small timing. Gitaly has been able to understand my work and make it real thanks to a continuous change of information and proposals.
