THE PROJECT

Location Riccione - Italy
Date 2024
Studio Polistudio di Riccione

Overlooking Riccione’s seafront and just steps from Viale Ceccarini, Hotel Mediterraneo – an icon of the Romagna Riviera and a historic landmark for the international jet set of Italy’s “Dolce Vita” years – is undergoing an ambitious renovation, led by the engineering firm POLISTUDIO A.E.S. Società di Ingegneria S.r.l.

The project focused on the building’s exterior walls for a total of approximately 2,500 square metres and featured the installation of an advanced ventilated façade system designed to significantly improve the structure’s thermal insulation, indoor comfort, and overall energy efficiency.

At a time when renovation means looking at architecture through a systemic lens, Hotel Mediterraneo emerges as a virtuous example of integrated design, in which technology and beauty come together harmoniously, giving the building a modern and elegant identity that strikes a balance between historical legacy and innovation.

PRODUCT USED

For the hotel’s exterior cladding, POLISTUDIO A.E.S. chose Cotto d’Este’s porcelain stoneware ceramic surfaces, a benchmark of technical excellence, durability, and high-end aesthetics. The Limestone collection, in its 14 mm thick version, offers exceptional performance in terms of mechanical strength, colour stability, water resistance, and resistance to weather conditions and sudden changes in temperature. The project features the Clay and Oyster variants – Clay in soft, mineral tones and a Naturale finish, and Oyster with a Blazed surface that recalls the rugged and tactile beauty of the ocean floor.

Rounding out the visual composition, the X-BETON collection in the DOT-50 version offers an aesthetic and architectural reinterpretation of rolled concrete. This choice introduces a dynamic patchwork of colours and textures which gives the building a distinct and sophisticated identity.
