Cosentino materials to dress Vitta Palermo, an innovative building in Buenos Aires’ trendiest neighbourhood

“Because we believe that it is possible to live in bigger, better spaces. Surrounded by greenery, even if we are in the middle of the city”. Under this premises, the architecture studio Uno en Uno developed the Vitta Palermo project, an innovative building that promotes traditional neighbourhood life without compromising on modern comforts.

Thus, the building stands out for its common areas – which include a modern swimming pool, a coworking space, a gym and a multi-purpose room –, as well as for the abundance of plants around its perimeter.

“At Uno en Uno we are constantly looking to add value to our projects. Years ago, in this search, we came across Cosentino, first through Silestone, and now also through Dekton. Ever since we discovered them, our customers have always appreciated the use of Cosentino products for their worktops, as they associate quality and design with the brand”, the studio says.

Indeed, the kitchen and bathroom worktops in the Vitta Palermo flats feature Silestone White North and Silestone Grey Expo, respectively. White North is a neutral shade inspired by northern winters and reminiscent of the beauty and power of nature. Meanwhile, Grey Expo is a bright grey shade with a perfect, smooth finish, a timeless classic whose elegance never goes unnoticed.

Due to its low porosity and high resistance to stains, impacts and scratches, Silestone is one of the best choices for worktops exposed to daily wear and tear.

But this time, the architecture studio went one step further in its commitment to Cosentino with the choice of its materials also for the common areas. “For the lobby, we chose Dekton Aura, a surface that allowed us to create a geometric play by mirroring its veining and creating continuity in the cladding. Its matt texture was also key, as it was to be used as flooring in a high-traffic area”, say the developers.

And they further say: “One of the main amenities of our project is the SUM multipurpose room (which stands for ‘Salón de Usos Múltiples’ in Spanish), which serves as a meeting point. For this room we designed a big kitchen island in Dekton Laurent, which thanks to its colour, golden veining and texture enhances the design and makes the island the focal point of the room”.

In addition, the professionals also highlight the large size of the Dekton and Silestone pieces. “This allowed us to minimise the number of joints in the claddings and to create one-piece units for the island in the SUM room and the reception area in the lobby. The material’s resistance to scratches, stains and thermal shock was a significant advantage in relation to the intensive use of the common areas”, the studio says.
