A spiritually uplifting place; an infinite and indefinite important presence, surprisingly multi-faceted, intimately acquainted but eternally unknown, the place company can lose after which discover themselves once more each single day. The enter of Neapolitan architect Valentina Autiero represents a silent and passionate tribute to the appeal of the ocean at sundown – with the infinite splendour of its sudden nuances of sunshine and shadow, of vivid and intense colors which instantly remodel into a fragile, tenuous radiance – within the restyling of the six rooms with breath-taking views which comprise Laqua by the Sea, Cinzia and Antonino Cannavacciuolo’s clifflop visitor home in Meta, within the coronary heart of the Sorrento Peninsula.

The venture revolves across the presence of curved design parts which exhibit an innate sculptural nature and an undisputed scenic enchantment, as an impressed tribute to the dynamic and unpredictable shifts of the waves at sundown.
Proper from the primary look, the structure of every room seems to obviously lengthen in direction of the ocean under, because of the imposing presence of a full-height glazed partition: this spatial part breaks down the frontal perspective and is instantly suggestive of the direct and fixed dialogue with the ocean, to all intents and functions the magnificent and evocative presence of the encircling panorama and context. The architect’s new design of the rooms is thus developed in full consciousness of the iridescent dynamism of the notion of the environments and atmospheres, that includes a diversified palette of colors which is frequently evolving, starting from the chilly blues of daybreak to the fiery reds of sundown.
The marine ingredient – an infinite and undefined residing presence, multi-faceted and transformational, and on the identical time intimately acquainted and irredeemably extraneous – has at all times been an important, obligatory and important supply of inspiration for Valentina Autiero.
Thus, within the designer’s architectural work, strains of perspective, objects, supplies and surfaces, mild and shadow, solids and voids all play multifarious roles, usually sudden and unpredictable, daily composing the harmonic plot of the home surroundings setting: now not easy scenic backdrops, however presences which seize and mirror fragments of life, earlier than recomposing them and setting them on at all times new and shocking paths.

In open dialogue with the purple travertine and its sinuous nature, padded and upholstered wainscoting, as soon as once more that includes deep curves, enhances an extra sub-area devoted to consolation and rest. Gracefully moulded, and as soon as once more a deliberate homage to the waves and their ever-changing ripples as they meet the breeze at sundown, it extends in sculptural trend alongside the wall, the place it defines and encompasses the sleeping space.

In open distinction with the curved parts characterising the rooms, the wall reverse the mattress space contains a ornamental steel construction with a robust persona – geometric but irregular in design – which delineates an extra subspace devoted to rest with picket armchairs and low tables, ultimate for studying or different favorite pastimes, or just for considering the breathtaking view. The construction is the proper backdrop for a sentimental tribute to native traditions, and thus hosts a collection of items of nice craftsmanship from the Campania area, together with some clay sculptures that are very expensive to the Cannavacciuolo household as they had been made by Antonino’s father.
