HIGH RISE FACILITIES

Palazzo Talia Boutique Hotel Opens In RomeOwned by the Federici family, the 26-bed Palazzo Talia has reopened in Rome following a three-year restoration by three design and architecture firms. Public spaces such as the restaurant, bar and wellness spa, as well as the hotel’s signature suite, has been transformed by studiolucaguadagnino. It marks the company’s first hospitality project. Each of the remaining 25 rooms and suites have been individually designed by MIA Home Design Gallery and Laura Feroldi Studio. All rooms feature bespoke and handmade furniture. Chef Marco Coppola oversees the Tramae Restaurant which serves a range of traditional Roman dishes as well as Italian cuisine. Bar Della Musa offers cocktails, champagne and a curated selection of wines. Originally built in the 16th century, the building became the residence of Angelo Maria Colocci, secretary to Pope Leo X de’ Medici, during the Renaissance. In the 17th century, the Palazzo became a home for nobles and high-ranking clergy until it was acquired by Cardinal Tonti. After his death, San Giuseppe Calasanzio, founder of the Piarist Fathers, inherited the property and transformed it into a school for children from poor families. The school eventually became known as the Nobile Collegio del Nazareno, renowned for educating politicians, cardinals and diplomats, before closing its doors in 1999.

Populous Reveals Designs For Aramco’S Khobar Stadium

HIGH RISE FACILITIES

Populous Reveals Designs For Aramco’S Khobar StadiumPopulous, a global design firm based in US, has unveiled the designs and the surrounding masterplan for the ambitious stadium project being developed by Saudi oil giant Aramco in Al Khobar in the kingdom’s Eastern Province. Drawing inspiration from Al Khobar’s location on the shores of the Arabian Gulf, Populous has created a dynamic and visually striking stadium exterior that expresses the graceful rotation of waves and the spiral motifs commonly found in nature. The overlapping translucent sails of the façade, delicately curved and proportioned, create a flowing sequence that allows natural light to penetrate the stadium’s interiors through strategically placed openings, said the top designer in a statement. Within the stadium, the spiral form of the building is echoed in the ramps and walkways that lead spectators to the seating bowl, which has been shaped elliptically to minimise the venue’s footprint and optimise natural ventilation. Developed by Populous’ specialist designers, the seating bowl will provide world-class viewing for football, with a compact configuration and uninterrupted views of the pitch from every seat. Aramco Stadium is one of a number of Populous-designed venues included in the official list of potential venues for the 2034 World Cup, as published in the Saudi Arabia bid book released last month. Shireen Hamdan, the Senior Principal and General Manager of Populous KSA, said: “The Aramco Stadium development will create a world-class football venue capable of hosting top-tier international tournaments. The venue’s stunning setting on the shores of the Arabian Gulf has allowed us to develop a distinctive building form that is instantly and uniquely recognisable.”
