When the Moscoso family bought the Palacio de Cristal in 1995 it was almost in ruins. They then started the transformation process that eventually would restore it to its former splendor. It took years of patient and caring work by Gustavo Moscoso and his sister May, supported by Area-17’s Enrico Tomidei, a team of artisan restorers and local craftsmen to fulfill the vision conceived by the Moscosos and to gather a refined selection of unique pieces of furniture, chosen with the help of interior decorator Julio Vinueza.

Area-17 and INRES took part in the requalification of the R-Nord building redesigning the gallery located on the ground floor, both architecturally and commercially. The renovation of the complex began a few years ago by the Comune di Modena through CambiaMo.

Villa Rita is a charming three story house in the historic downtown area of Cuenca, completely renovated by Area-17. The allure of the building remains intact thanks to a design in which the new and the old coexist in a harmonious and placid way.

Close to the Riccione seafront, the Sixty Hotel brings its clientele into the colorful world of the ‘70s. Psychedelic atmosphere, original vintage furnishings, and environments signed by twenty-five international artists make this hotel truly one of a kind.
