In the heart of Rome, the historic Palazzo Orsini Taverna has become a focal point for contemporary design through the Casa Platform project. This initiative, led by Platform Architecture and Design, creates a collaborative space for architects, designers, and cultural professionals, merging historical tradition with modern innovation.

A key element of this transformation is Novacolor’s Archi+ Argilla mineral plaster. This finish combines natural clay and lime to produce wall treatments that exude both strength and elegance. The design, executed by SET Architects, enhances the palazzo’s historical essence by integrating surfaces where past and present converge, narrating a story of timeless beauty and modern sophistication.

The aesthetic of Casa Platform Rome centers on the interplay between gold and clay. This combination balances the opulence of gold with the warmth and texture of clay, creating an environment of understated luxury. In the main hall, walls finished with Archi+ Argilla establish a natural ambiance, while gold accents highlight the location’s historical significance.

This design choice reflects a growing preference for authentic and sustainable materials. Archi+ Argilla, composed of natural clay, aerial lime, and selected aggregates, meets both aesthetic and wellness standards. It holds the Indoor Air Comfort Gold certification, ensuring superior indoor air quality.

Additional Novacolor products enhance the project’s surfaces with unique details. Ceilings feature Era a Pennello Lime Paint, providing a matte, cloud-like effect. Gold accents and frames are highlighted with Metallo Fuso, adding a touch of elegance. The mezzanine floor is treated with Wall2Floor Top Coat Waterproof, ensuring durability and visual continuity, while bathroom walls are adorned with Archi+ Tadelakt, offering a refined texture that bridges tradition and modernity.

This renovation, curated by SET Architects, positions Casa Platform as a hub for dialogue and idea exchange, showcasing the evolution of design culture. The decorative narrative, highlighted by the interplay of gold and clay through Archi+ Argilla, establishes this space as a model of sustainable design, poised to inspire professionals in architecture and interior design.
