The majestic suspended terrace

The renewed architectural volume, called Palazzo Timeless for its ability to stitch and make the historical memory interact with the present and the future, redefines spaces and creates new points of view thanks to clever plays of transparency. The undisputed protagonist, the majestic suspended terrace of 600 square meters dominates the spectacular rhythmic landscape of the Tuscan hills of the Era Valley, with an overhang of about 20 meters from the ground.

A sort of public square

From the desire to emphasize the harmony between nature, the medieval context and the new collective function of the place, the terrace becomes a public square, embellished by murals signed by Daniel Buren and designed to be fully lived. For its flooring, the Panorama di Déco covering was chosen, a collection of bamboo slats with a refined aesthetic and with notable technical advantages including lightness, flexibility, resistance and durability, as well as compactness, stability and the ability to effectively absorb vibrations and to withstand shocks and tractions.

An eco-sustainable solution

In line with the respect for the environment that characterizes the entire project, Panorama is an eco-sustainable solution with a minimal impact on deforestation. In fact, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world, capable of totally regenerating itself in just 5 years.
