In this edition, we sat down with Roberto Colonetti, the renowned “porcelain artist” at European Ceramics in Perth, Western Australia. Born and raised in Italy, Colonetti began his career at Colonetti SNC Of Colonetti Claudio And Sons in Borgo di Terzo, Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy, where worked with natural stone as a CNC and waterjet operator for 22 years. He relocated to Australia is 2013 to pursue a career in porcelain with European Ceramics, where he creates functional works of art using porcelain. He also travels around the world to host training and education sessions on fabrication best practices. Recently, he published his own book, the Colonetti System Technical Manual, which describes his particular method of porcelain fabrication for integrated sinks.

TILE: What are some common issues you Otherwise, instead of making money, you have to deal with on the job site? How do you will lose money and reputation. Sometimes overcome them? it’s better to say “no” rather than “sorry.” Colonetti: The main problem here in Australia I receive emails sometimes from people is how the houses are built.

Not only the Spanish products and reci- pes, but also the atmosphere in general,” said Juli Capella, co-founder of Capella Garcia Arquitectura. “The space is inspired by the Spanish markets, but also by Spanish streets, plazas and terraces. Eating and drinking is a celebratory and social act, which can have a more formal character — eating sitting at a table where you are served — or informally, where you choose what you want to eat.” Capella worked closely with the client, ThinkFoodGroup, the company behind José Andrés’ group of restaurants, which has a mission “to change the world through the power of food.” “José Andrés, who has become a great ambassador for Spanish food in America, has been the great international promoter of ‘tapas,’ and in this place, he was very clear about what he wanted,” Capella explained. “Not only was he involved, but he directed and supervised the whole process. He also invited other renowned chefs, Ferran and Albert Adrià, to participate in the project, which was exciting.” To bring the 35,000-square-foot space to life, almost two dozen different types of ceramic and porcelain tile from the Castellón-based More traditional, 14.4- x 89.3-cm (5.7- x 35.2- manufacturer, Vives Ceramica, were employed inch) wood-look porcelain tiles from the Orsa on the walls, floors and bar fronts. “Each one collection in “Avellana” cover the floors of the was suitable for a specific area of application,” dining area for the restaurant.

We are a country that produces high-quality ceramics and a lot of creativity. Therefore, from the beginning, we knew that the use of ceramics was going to be one of the main reasons for the place,” he explained. “We were analyzing several Spanish companies and Vives was very complete and attractive, allowing us to personalize the space with different motives in all of the different areas of the market.

The creative indoor-outdoor design, crafted by local architectural firm, Bolivar Arquitectos, is sleek and minimal, accentuated by clever contours and unexpected material choices, which help make the 17,600-square foot, single-family home extraordinary.

The one facing the street is not too long, so we wanted to give some formal remarks, and considering the surrounding mountains, we worked on both sides,” said Mario Bolivar, founder of Bolivar Arquitectos in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. “On the left side, there is a wall that separates the pavilion from the street; there is not an indoor area on the other side of this wall, so we deconstructed this part of the wall to resemble the mountains. In the upper right side of the house, the deconstructed area was designed to achieve an equilibrium of the whole facade.” Matching tiles from the Q-Stone collection were also carried to To create the incredibly unique the backyard terrace and pool area. design, Bolivar utilized the tiles from Q-Stone in the “Opus” format, a the situation of the polyhydric faces of the designated pattern from Provenza that is facade, we installed the material in different composed of five different sizes. “Usually directions.

Throughout the entire process, Bolivar’s team was onsite constantly to ensure the design was being executed as planned. “There was a team from our office there during the design phase, with one man who was in charge of supervising the entire house,” Bolivar said. “Personally, I was very involved in the construction phase, with regular visits to the site.” A 30- x 30-cm (11 13/16- x 11 13/16-inch) mosaic in a lappato finish from Q-Stone adorns the walls of an Since the home’s completion, it has ellipse-shaped guest bathroom indoors. received great praise from the homeowners
