CASA NATURALE – www.casanaturale.info

Men are changing climate, contributing to increase the temperatures with inescapable consequences for more then a millennium, as an ONU report confirms. Within this century the sea level could raise from 18 to 59 cm. Experts affirm that if oceans raise of 40 cm, 200 millions of people will have to leave their living areas. While environmental disasters grow, the ecological conscience of citizens and Countries raise. Casa Naturale chose to tell its readers, through a special observatory, the home, where we spend most of the time, that environmental sustainability isn’t an abstract idea or a dream, but it is a possible way of living.

STUDIO GUIDO E DI MUZIO – www.dimuzio.com

Architects Mirella Caterina Guido and Gianluca Di Muzio explain their work: “We project places. Places to live, spaces to stay just for a while, places to experiment, spaces to fill or to empy or to look at only to be amazed. We work with light, with colour, with shapes. We look for harmony. In the centre of all this we put people. People that walk, that dream, that watch, that play, work, live. To them we give an idea of beauty, we want the places to talk to them with a new but familiar language. The aim is to draw “spatial habits” of this time and together with them we hopefully give a bit of the time that will come”.

FIOR DI TORTONA - www.fiorditortona.it

At Tortona #31 in a bright building, surrounded by a rich variety of plants you’ll find a home-workshop where creative devotion for aesthetic detail melts with a pleasant location and a warm welcome. A double dimension: on one side Lisa and Paolo’s creative workshop, where passion for greenery becomes taste and elegance, a showroom and a small greenhouse, on the other side their home. This combination ensures an cosy place where spending time cheerfully, away from hectic life and velocity. Lisa and Paolo have built a special bound with people passing by Fior di Tortona: you won’t be considered “just customer” looking for plants and flowers but like a person looking for suggestions and once won by their professionalism and gentleness, you’ll surely come back!
