Villa Padova <\/b>began with the idea of transforming surfaces into true design elements that define spaces and volumes. Designed in Padua by Architect Maila Borile<\/b>, the home explores the expressive potential of the Emilgroup collections through a design vision that takes materials beyond their traditional function, making them an integral part of the architecture. This approach earned the project an award in the Creativity category at the 2026 Emilgroup Project Awards<\/b>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the heart of the project is the Tele di Marmo Lumia<\/b> collection, interpreted through its three shades to maximize its design potential. The 120\u00d7278 cm slabs in the Golden Ambra<\/b> shade feature on the living room wall, transforming it into a visually striking element, while the Labradorite<\/b> shade is used for one of the bathrooms. With Ivory Gioiello<\/b>, the collection extends to the flooring throughout the entire home and to architectural elements such as staircases, fully showcasing the design versatility of Emilgroup surfaces.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tele di Marmo Onyx by Emilceramica<\/b>, in the Onyx Black<\/b> and Onyx Blue<\/b> shades, is used for bathroom wall coverings and washbasins, creating coordinated solutions. In the outdoor spaces, Cornerstone by Ergon<\/b> in the Slate Multicolor<\/b> shade, in the 45\u00d790 cm<\/b> size with a 20 mm <\/b>thickness, was chosen for the villa\u2019s paths, blending seamlessly with the home\u2019s architectural style.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The combination of different collections, applications, and finishes results in a cohesive and distinctive design, where creativity is expressed through an original use of materials, lending character to every room in the villa.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
