Parco Ducale Luxury Rooms: combining hospitality with design

Marazzi has participated in the project

Just a stone’s throw from Parco Ducale in Parma’s Borgo Santo Spirito district, architect Gianluca Vetruccio has given a new life to a former office building, transforming it into an elegant accommodation facility with designer interiors. Its name, Parco Ducale Luxury Rooms, reflects both its connection to the local area, and the attention given to design and hospitality. Each room has been renovated and enhanced with an elegant interplay of colors and materials, with close attention to the functionality needed for a hospitality facility underlying each choice.

The distinguishing feature of all the interiors is a palette of delicate colors inspired by the natural world, from earthy to floral tones. For this reason, as well as the emphasis on materials, Marazzi was asked to supply five products, beginning with Treverksoul Neutral porcelain stone flooring. (The product is also available in Brown and Grey.) With its 11x54 cm chevron format laid in a Hungarian herringbone pattern, the product gives the entire property a modern look that’s also elegant and luxurious. The tile reinterprets the elegance of antique parquet floors, bringing a warmth and brightness to the interiors.

 

An interplay of colors

Special attention went into selecting the colors and materials for the bathrooms, where different collections alternate on the walls and above the bathroom fixtures. In the first case, the designer opted for Marazzi’s small Crogiolo Lume format, in either high gloss China or Green, to give character and depth to the spaces. Above the level of the fixtures, he opted for the Purple shade of the Eclettica line, creating a striking contrast. This collection of large tiles stands out for its chromatic energy, its 3D effect, and for being suitable for creating mosaics.

Cementum porcelain stoneware in the Ash tone finishes the other walls, the product reflecting the natural tones that define the entire property. Its cement effect reinterprets this material through a decorative and contemporary lens.

Finally, Vetruccio chose the Momenti collection for its opaque, non-reflective surfaces and three-dimensional patterns that bring out the sophisticated, contemporary tones of these white body tiles. The architect opted for the Ocher shade to bring a creative touch to the overall design. Floral and botanical patterns are also available.
