Cosentino is pleased to announce that three of the award-winners at the 2019 Macael Awards boast Cosentino products’ quality and functionality.

Design Award

The ToHa building, an authentic 29-story office complex, located in the heart of Tel Aviv, Israel, was the recipient of this year’s Design Award.

Its unique, faceted profile, inspired by the geometry of an iceberg, was designed by Ron Arad, along with Avner Yashar’s local team, to house an office complex that is also home to a public garden, viewpoint and restaurant.

Over 28,000 m2 of Dekton® by Cosentino was used to clad the building’s façade, flooring, elevators, ceilings and interior partitions. More than 10,000 pieces of Dekton were manufactured and cut at Cosentino’s headquarters in Cantoria (Almeria, Spain) and transported by ship to Israel.

This award was collected by Julia Almeida, architect in Ron Arad’s studio.

International Award for Europe

The International Award for Europe went to the residential building Lagasca 99, which is located within Madrid’s famous “Golden Mile”. The facade has been built from 330 pieces of Cosentino’s natural stone travertine, each weighing 2,200 kg.

Floors, walls and staircases in the public areas have all been made from the same material. All the main kitchens feature Dekton® Kelya worktops, while the service kitchens have been built using Silestone® Blanco Zeus.

The project was sponsored by the Lar Group and designed by architect Rafael de la-Hoz. The project translates to a magnificent design and aesthetic.

The award was received by architect Rafael de La-Hoz and Nicolás Alcibar, Lar Group Director of Projects.
