Design & Culture

Architecture Vincenzo de Cotiis

Straf Architecture

Architecture Vincenzo de Cotiis

Showcasing the contemporary with the elements of classicism, this 19th-century palazzo is both style- and eco-conscious.

A minimalist but grand installation within the walls of a 19th-century palazzo, the Straf uses cement and earthy metals to characterize an otherwise warm and inviting space. The hotel’s urban style and its everyday materials recall the Arte Povera movement of the 1960s and 1970s, whose artists used non-traditional organic materials, including slate and iron.

Interior design Vincenzo de Cotiis

Like any good couturier, de Cotiis recognizes that beauty is in the details.

Every inch of the luxurious rooms are hand-chosen and made to measure. Simplicity prevails throughout the rooms and suites, with texture paramount. Richly layered paintings add warmth and depth to the cool industrial interior: a raw, eclectic mix of cement, bronze, burnished brash, and gunmetal.
