A stunning new educational hub at the LUISS Guido Carli University in Rome is now complete making use of sustainably sourced Kebony wood cladding for a striking, nature-inspired, and eco-friendly façade.
Located in the heart of the Paroli district, the new centre sits in a picturesque and accessible spot to the south of the University campus, close to a small wood, parkland, and the campus’ main square. Designed in a collaboration between architecture firms Alvisi Kirimoto and Studio Gemma, the building’s architecture takes inspiration from this surrounding greenery: custom-built in a style evocative of a classical treehouse, the structure blends into the landscape and creates a welcoming, homely space for students.
Kebony wood cladding has been used to complete the exterior façade, providing rustic, natural character to the second-floor siding that seamlessly integrates the structure into the surrounding treetops. Kebony’s dually modified™ wood offers designers an environmentally friendly solution for the construction of new healthy architecture projects around the world, safeguarding against the vital issues of deforestation and rising carbon emissions caused through continued dependence on traditional construction materials.
The Communication Group plc developed and distributed a press release announcing the project to target UK and international media contacts, securing coverage in top tier architecture and design publications, including ArchDaily, Domus, IoArch, and Archello, thereby establishing Kebony as a sustainable and beautiful choice for architects.
