The House of Laura: The Liberty Charm Renewed with Contemporary Corian® Design

Corian®: The Material That Shapes Contemporary Hospitality.

In this balance between past and present, a central role has been assigned to Corian® Solid Surface, a material chosen for its versatility, hygiene, and aesthetic value. Already known and appreciated by the owner for its use in her own home, Corian® has proven ideal for reinterpreting the spaces of the villa in a modern light.

In the heart of the Prosecco hills, just minutes from the center of Valdobbiadene, La Casa di Laura is a Liberty-style villa from 1930 that now welcomes its guests in a refined, authentic, and surprisingly modern environment. The renovation project, which lasted five years, is the result of a shared vision between the property owner and the architect, united by the desire to preserve the historical memory of the villa while also reinterpreting it with contemporary sensitivity.

With great passion, the project aimed to preserve the architectural identity of the villa, keeping the original decorative elements and proportions of the spaces intact, while also working to offer a modern and functional stay experience that meets the needs of today’s hospitality.

Performance, Hygiene, and Aesthetics for Custom Spaces

Used for bathroom surfaces, coverings, and custom furniture, Corian® has allowed for the optimization of the villa’s contained spaces, adapting precisely to the existing geometries. Its hygienic properties, high wear resistance, durability over time, and restoration capability make it ideal for high-traffic and usage environments, responding to the highest demands of the hospitality sector, but also of healthcare contexts, public spaces, and airports.

The thermoformability of the material allows for the creation of fluid shapes, complex geometries, and custom solutions without production constraints. Corian® thus allows for the creation of spaces and objects inspired by the context, enhancing each environment with a contemporary and distinctive aesthetic.

Sustainability, Color, and Certifications: A Material That Looks to the Future

The color palette of Corian®, composed of 93 shades, includes numerous variants containing recycled material, representing a concrete commitment to environmental sustainability. Its sophisticated finishes enhance natural light, helping to create welcoming, bright, and harmonious environments. Corian® is also a low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) material and is widely certified for multiple application areas, ensuring its quality, safety, and compliance with international standards in health, environment, and performance.

A Project That Tells a Story

Every detail of La Casa di Laura reflects care, a passion for architecture, and a desire for hospitality. From the complete restoration of the internal staircase to the selection of materials, everything has been designed to offer an authentic experience, deeply rooted in history but perfectly integrated into the present. This project demonstrates how design sensitivity and the intelligent use of innovative materials can transform a historical building into a vibrant, contemporary, and sustainable place, where the past is not only preserved but also becomes an inspiration for the future.
