Laguna Faro Suites by Patricia Urquiola
In a place, in which the balanced relationship between humans and the nature is so important and sensitive, for the project we have been inspired by the territory that hosts Laguna Palace Hotel, with the intent of acknowledging all small details of the place’s beauty.
Inside the intricate natural system of Grado lagoon, made up of islands and canals, the salty sea water meets the dry land. Their encounter generates a colourful mixture, ranging from warm colours to light blue and vivid green. In addition to the natural local elements, we wanted to bring inside the project also the human gesture.
In the project, there is a strong remind to the use of ropes, straw, canes and wood that have guided the project – all elements that build the traditional Casoni, once the houses of the lagoon’s fishermen.
In designing the Laguna Faro Suites, Patricia Urquiola applies total respect for the pre-existence and connection to the fabric of the town. True luxury today is hyper-personalization – claims Urquiola – a welcome that is as domestic and enveloping as it is discreet and reserved for the discovery of itineraries and characteristic places.
