Antonella. The character and essence of the Mediterranean.

A frequent destination. We have gone back to Italy letting us be guided by the taste, smell, and colour of each of its corners. We are there to breathe its atmosphere, its bustle, and its traditional modernity, to feel that we are part of this place and we are one more neighbour among its people.

That wonderful feeling that we all seek in the trips is found in Antonella, but also in this diary where we write about our discoveries and adventures.

Travelling is going from place to place physically or letting our imagination run wild. It doesn’t matter how close or far away the destination is. There is always a new place to visit…

Smell and enjoy that special lemon flavouring!

That is Antonella, a trip to cosmopolitan rural Italy, to the Amalfi Coast, the Cinque Terre, and the wonderful Sicily, to its beautiful villages that softly caress the sea.

Antonella… “il sole di mezzogiorno”.

Antonella is a woman with a powerful temper and so is the place where she welcomes us.

In Banús Arquitectura everything counts, everything adds up, that’s why their work succeeds. Under Antonella’s skin there is a passionate, Mediterranean personality. They say that everything is possible in this place and we can find a mixture of colours, fabrics, and materials, all under her Italian essence.

“A very eclectic Mediterranean” they say. And no one better than Banús Arquitectura to give a soul and life to this place where you can feel the flavours and smells of an open, sunny, cheerful kitchen.

Conquering the residential area of Arturo Soria, Antonella’s vitality has consolidated the Le Cocó Group as the best offer in Italian cuisine in Madrid.

Every person who passes by there becomes part of its story, just like each of the projects we share reveals a bigger or smaller part of us.

FS TEMPLE… Mediterranean essence.

The sea cradles and inspires us. Its influence is essential in our nature and within the Mediterranean culture. Passionate and explosive, Antonella is colour, light, freshness, vitality. Essence of sea attached to its walls.

The chromatic richness of Italy’s most beautiful seafaring villages is felt in a space where the colour of its tiles tells unique emotions.

And in the midst of so much energy there is a gentle breeze. A ceramic carpet with irregular and beautiful strokes that evokes a landscape between nets.

Italy. A frequent destination. Pizzerias, trattorias, salumerias, ristorantes… restaurant premises, “projects” that are part of our lives.

We love traveling, it would be crazy not to think about going around the world seeking that beautiful story behind every design.
