Portonaccio House

In the ancient countryside around Rome, currently experiencing thriving urban development, inside a newly-constructed building, the duplex designed by Nicola Auciello rises from the ruins of a former ice factory, ideally targeting a young and dynamic public, with their future laid out before them. The idea behind the project - which develops around the integration of a continuous, fitted partition panel in raw iron and wood and has a strong material presence - focuses on the adaptability of spaces structured around the corner module, intended as both the starting and finishing point for forms that are linear yet dynamic. The eye lingers on the beauty of Scrigno solutions that become part of the poetic-emotional concept, specifically designed to create sensations that are a world away from superfluous virtuosities and meaningless excesses.

As well as being appreciated for their simplicity and functionality, Scrigno Essential doors were selected for their quality and intrinsic minimalist versatility, which makes them that touch of class, that finishing detail to architecture that also expresses itself through the silent elegance of the elements that complete it. The Essential Sliding glass solution stands out thanks to its impalpable presence that perfectly embodies the conceptual aspect of the apartment and exalts it, incorporating the juxtaposition between volumes and materials. The transparency of the glass contrasts ironically with the hard, raw iron and the noble and adaptable wood, confirming the uniqueness and inimitability of every single detail. Customised in terms of size, the solution stands out thanks to its tailor-made elegant simplicity. In addition, in the white wood version, Essential Sliding perfectly integrates into the length of the wall, becoming an almost imperceptible presence compared to the panel and perfect for satisfying the hi-spec design, which focuses entirely on the dynamic contrast between smooth and angular surfaces. The sliding door becomes an integral part of the architecture, exalting the refined tones of the design solutions.

Nicola Auciello of na3-architecture firm stated: “The reputation of Scrigno solutions is evident and doesn’t need to be highlighted given the excellent quality of the product, which is well-known in the sector. My choice was motivated by reasons linked to modernity and the quality and versatility of the solutions, which can be assimilated into the project until they become an integral part of it, making the spaces more fluid and unbound by the preconceived or outdated models that accompany the existence of a man living in the modern era.”

Francesco Bigoni, Marketing Director of Scrigno Holding S.p.A. declared that “Favouring Scrigno solutions and their inclusion in a work - driven not only by great aesthetic significant, but also the desire to arouse emotions through architecture - once again highlights their eclectic nature. Becoming part of a conceptual vision, they prove they can overcome simple structural requirements and represent the spirit of living through their dynamic lightness.”
