2019 LANDSCAPE DESIGN TRENDS #4
SINTERED STONE PAVING FOR LARGE PUBLIC PROJECTS
The accomplishment of sustainability, durability and quality require the use of highly performing outdoor paving materials for public projects. Imported granites are increasingly difficult to find and for this reason L’ALTRA PIETRA® presents FORTEZZA at Cersaie 2019: the new line of 2 cm thickness sintered stone paving that reproduces four colors of the most common Chinese granites. In the images you can see three proposals for the redevelopment of three different areas of two European capital cities.
GABIONS FOR VERTICAL GREEN
The subject of environmental sustainability, in particular the heat island reduction and the imbalancement of CO2 emissions, require continuous research also in the area of fences solutions. NATURAL STONE BOX, pre-filled modular gabions of natural marble aggregates, are proposed as an ideal support for the growth of vegetation for the realization of vertical green. In the photos you can see a project recently built in Caluso in the province of Turin, Italy.
NATURAL STONES FOR INTERIOR CLADDING
For the redevelopment of a living room in a private home, a vertical detail in natural stone is enough. This is the case of the Swiss project seen in the image on the right where the owner has installed NATURAL STONE PANEL Black Quartzite.
