CYCLE OF LIFE GARDEN VIDEO

Finally our video of Torlonia garden in Rome

Filmed last spring in the heart of Rome, Torlonia Garden is a quiet landscape designed for a senior residence, where nature becomes a companion in the final chapter of life.

A garden conceived as a reflection on the cycle of life.
Winding paths, flowering tunnels and seasonal vegetation guide a slow journey through memory, community and renewal.

Spaces for play, shared meals and cultivation coexist with intimate corners for silence and contemplation.
Vegetable gardens, fruit trees and aromatic plants invite care, learning and simple daily rituals.

Built with natural materials and designed to evolve over time, the garden embraces impermanence — changing with the seasons, just like life itself.

A place to pause. A place to reflect. A place where every season matters.

NEW NICOTERA WATERFRONT, international competition settled

The new waterfront of Nicotera is imagined as a soft seam between city and sea. A place where barriers disappear, movement slows, and the shoreline becomes a shared civic landscape. What was once a road is transformed into a calm promenade, open, continuous, and welcoming.

Wooden walkways and flowing ground patterns echo the rhythm of waves and boats at rest, giving the waterfront a clear identity rooted in the maritime imagination. The project unfolds as a green corridor for walking, cycling, meeting, and pausing—where nature, light, and space guide the experience rather than objects or signs.

Access to the sea becomes natural and intuitive, evenly distributed along the coast, while shaded areas, seating, and small public spaces invite everyday life to settle by the water. Native vegetation shapes comfort, protects the shoreline, and restores the dialogue between land and sea.

Structured by a sequence of key places—arrival, work, gathering, contemplation, and play—the waterfront becomes both active and reflective, capable of hosting events or quiet moments at sunset.

The result is not a monument, but a living landscape: resilient, inclusive, and deeply connected to the identity of Nicotera—where the city gently meets the horizon.

BLU BECK featured with GUAXS

We’re proud to have collaborated with GUAXS—the renowned brand known for its handcrafted vases and objects—and to be featured by them for our restaurant BLU BECK for the chef HEINZ BECK on the Costa Smeralda, Sardinia.

Their sculptural pieces, defined by organic forms and refined textures, became an essential part of the atmosphere, adding warmth, character, and a tactile sense of luxury to the space.

A collaboration where design, craftsmanship, and Mediterranean light come together.

La casa dei carabinieri competition, Siracusa, Italy, settled

When a jury is not properly qualified, a city may forfeit an important opportunity to develop in contemporary ways and to preserve public confidence in its institutions.

A place of trust, community, and landscape

The project interprets the Barracks as a shared “home,” an open and recognizable place where the institution approaches the city through listening and presence. Set within a large urban park, the House of the Carabinieri transcends the image of a closed military complex to become a green, connected, welcoming, and symbolic public space. A safe yet permeable refuge, it is able to protect while also embracing, where architecture, nature, and community intertwine to generate trust, belonging, and closeness between citizens and institutions.

Season’s greetings

As the year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the heartbeat of our latest project, Maria Carta Square. A vibrant hub where community meets beauty, sustainability, and joy. With its dynamic vapor sculpture and magical water mirror, this square is more than a space – it’s a symbol of shared identity and future.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to bring people together through design and can’t wait to see what the new year brings. Stay tuned for more exciting projects on the horizon!

B&A at Marmomac Verona 2025

Designed for ICONCI

The assignment to design the entire stand at marmomac 2025 is in line with the brand's intention to renew its image through the launch of two new product collections under the creative direction of b&a.  behind the main scenography, the stand is articulated through a sequence of monolithic boxes, each showcasing a different travertine treatment on the exterior and a distinct typology on the interior. these volumes act as silent stages where the pieces of the collections emerge as sculptures, allowing visitors to read the material, its finishes, and its expressive potential through a curated spatial rhythm. the stand was awarded the marmomac–forbes best communicator award for its concept—simple yet highly elegant—recognized for the coherence of its material language and its remarkable ability to capture and hold the visitor’s attention through the expressive power of marble.

The stand presents a new entire telluric collection of bath and wellness sculptural essential elements melting with the floor and exalting the Travertine character. The Splash collection (with bathtub, sink, shower and accessories) blends with the ground and the surface, creating a sensation of lightness and fluidity in contrast with the hardness of the stone, resulting in sculptural effect and playing with light and reflection.

A fluid landscape of stone.

As does the Combi collection which proposes the same concept but varying the materials in a play of different combinations.

Ultimately, the design seeks to highlight the essence of the work of I Conci:Travertine, tradition, innovation, stonework, attention to detail and variety of combinations.

Nábito architects new project on going

Piazza Maria Carta,PdP, Cagliari Italy

A new beating heart for the community

Maria Carta Square is conceived as a place of encounter, reflection, and play.
At its centre rises a great sculpture of vapor, a dynamic and interactive installation that changes shape over time — much like the life of the community that surrounds it. Water, a primordial element, gathers on the ground creating a magical mirror, where each person can see themselves reflected: a symbol of shared identity, memory, and future.

This square is a social and playful platform, where everyday life meets beauty: spaces to pause and meet, restaurants and cafés overlooking the promenade, green lawns with benches, shaded areas, and playgrounds for children. Every element contributes to an environment that is welcoming, inclusive, and full of life.

The design celebrates sustainability and respect for natural materials, through a careful selection of textures and finishes that dialogue with light and the surrounding landscape.
The landscape design is based on the use of native plant species — trees and shrubs typical of the region, chosen for their resilience and their ability to express the authentic spirit of the place. Their seasonal blooms and shifting colors turn the square into a living organism, in harmony with the natural rhythm of time.

Maria Carta Square is a tribute to the community: a space that breathes with it, welcomes it, and reflects it.
A place to meet, to recognize oneself, and to celebrate life together in the present moment.

Manuel Gausa Navarro #DEP #RIP

It took us a few days to realise the weight of your passing.
We will all regret the loss of an international preeminent and vast intellectual figure in the contemporary architecture and urbanism panorama.
Personally, I am loosing a big brother and an intimate friend with whom I could speak openly about anything.
Moreover, we are loosing an extraordinary
human being.

Manuel,
you were a gentleman, a generous soul and a visionary with an extremely optimistic and open-minded attitude.
You were one of a kind, capable of loving people for who they are free from prejudice; a person you always knew you could call if something went wrong, and even if you didn’t, you could smile reassured, knowing that there would always be this cavalier fighting battles to defend your principles.
To me, you were immortal.
We are sure that your legacy will guide forever and illuminate the path for many younger generations, passionate about art and architecture. I could never thank you enough for your efforts. You were always willing to help and had a kind word for everyone, even when you were overloaded with work and stress.
In this troubled contemporary world, which is increasingly being governed by egoists, sociopaths and megalomaniacs, there is an urgent need for figures like you!
With you, Manuel, a masterpiece of tempered and optimistic spirit is passing away: a conciliator and someone who has always truly and deeply respected diversities.

Hasta siempre, compañero de mil aventuras!
Bebo

NáBITO architects NOIDA, Uttar Pradesh, India

Urban Forest – Mixed-Use Development in Noida, India

Located in the rapidly growing city of Noida, this visionary urban development reimagines the relationship between architecture, nature, and community. The project comprises a series of mixed-use buildings that rise like vertical forests, with stepped terraces hosting lush gardens and green canopies at every level. Designed as a city within a city, the complex integrates residential dwellings, public spaces, work hubs, and leisure facilities into a cohesive and sustainable environment.

NáBITO architects the Ziggurat, Dubai

Our proposal for a mixed uses Building on the Al Marmoon Oasis, Dubai

Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid — Dubai’s Living Mirage

Rising from the tawny sands like an ancient mirage reborn, the Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid re‑imagines the timeless desert ziggurat as a twenty‑first‑century city‑within‑a‑building. Its stepped silhouette, draped in lush vegetation, evolves from the region’s vernacular—oasis farming terraces, wind‑catching towers, and the shimmering geometry of Bedouin textiles—yet it speaks the language of advanced eco‑technology and flexible urban life.

Vision

Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid is not merely a landmark; it is a manifesto for desert urbanism. By fusing indigenous wisdom with regenerative design, it proves that a building can be at once refuge, workplace, playground, and farm—thriving in harmony with one of the planet’s most demanding climates. In the heart of Dubai’s protected reserve, the pyramid stands as a living promise: the future city can grow green, even in the driest sands.

NáBITO architects Zig Zag Tower

Fr, Italy- The main client requirement is to develop a mixed-use office building with commercial space in the basement, maintaining two different fronts that open onto two sides of the city. The building should open onto public green areas and be connected to urban traffic areas to maintain permeability.

Therefore, a zigzag shape is essential to achieve this goal. We prefer to keep a taller tower to free up space on the ground and try to orient the building correctly according to the position of the sun. The colours of the façade reflect the changing daylight throughout the year.

Spiraling Nature – A Visionary Vertical Garden by NàBITO architects

NàBITO architects The Stairscraper

Our first prize 🥇in the TOTAL HOUSING Storefront for art and architecture competition in NEW YORK re-edited for a new adventure. Stay with us.

Rising like a living sculpture from the landscape, this latest concept by NàBITO architects transforms the traditional tower into a vibrant twisted ecosystem. A spiraling structure wraps elegantly around a central core, creating wide 360-degree balconies on every level. This unique form turns the verticality of a classical high-rise into a sequence of stacked villas—each with its own panoramic terrace and private garden.

At the base, a curved glass volume steps gently into the surrounding greenery. The generous use of reflective glazing dissolves the boundary between architecture and nature, while the lush vegetation that crowns each level reinforces the building’s identity as a vertical park.

By merging organic geometry with a bold sustainable vision, NàBITO proposes more than just a building—it’s a new model for living. A biophilic landmark where architecture, landscape, and light spiral together toward a greener urban future.

VILLA LAVA

Here´s the last pictures of the amazing NáBITO architects VILLA LAVA, Santa Tecla, Acireale.

Villa Lava is a private residence located in Santa Tecla, in the province of Acireale, on the eastern coast of Sicily. The project is a unique architectural blend - the union of two houses in one big Villa. On one side is an old fisherman's house dating from around 1900, which has been completely restored by Nábito Architects, maintaining its essential character and carefully uncovering and preserving the original lava stone vaults. On the other side, the old restored house is connected to a modern extension that opens to the sea, designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape of coastal lava stone, local vegetation and the ever-present Mediterranean horizon bringing the sea inside the complex.

This duality is the soul of Villa Lava. One part looks inwards, towards the historic heart of Santa Tecla, holding on to its past and memory. The other part looks outwards, towards the open sea, with contemporary lines and large openings that connect the interior to nature. The villa is squeezed between three powerful forces: the sea, Mount Etna and the Timpa nature reserve, creating a setting that is both dramatic and intimate.

Textures play a central role throughout the project. From rough stone exterior walls to azole plaster interior partitions and lava stone vaults, to raw metal details and stair, to terracotta pots and micro-cement floors, they form a natural transition between old and new materials, Nábito Architects deliberately kept the surfaces vibrant and authentic.

Texture is not just decorative here; it's the tactile language that bridges time, place and memory, allowing the villa to speak to both its past and its present, while respecting the environment.

Discreet details add a handcrafted, personal touch. Outside, selected Mediterranean vegetation, including prickly pear cactus, enhances the villa's relationship with its rugged volcanic context. The client wished to preserve select original furnishings from the old fisherman’s house, seeing them not as relics, but as living traces that connect the new villa to its Sicilian roots.

Villa Lava is more than a residence: it's an architectural story of contrast and harmony, a liveable tale of Sicilian landscape, history, culture and spirit.

New Marsala Waterfront

Lungomare Capolilibeo competitiion, 2ND PRIZE

NáBITO architects is proud to announce third prize for the international competition of Capolilibeo, Marsala, Italy.

Take a look to the On going proposal.

Cara Marsala,

Ti immaginiamo così, aperta e luminosa, senza confini tra te e il tuo Mediterraneo. Il nostro sogno per te  è una grande piattaforma pacificata, dove camminare, sostare e respirarti senza ostacoli. Uno spazio di condivisione e contemplazione, in cui il paesaggio si distende senza interruzioni. Un abbraccio continuo che invita a fermarsi, a guardare lontano, a sentirsi parte di un equilibrio ritrovato tra terra e mare, a sentirsi parte di te. Ti restituiamo il tuo orizzonte, limpido e infinito, perché tu possa essere ancora e sempre luogo d’incontro, di pace e di accoglienza.

This project concerns the urban environmental and landscape redevelopment and enhancement of Marsala's urban waterfront near Capo Lilibeo.At present, the stretch of waterfront has critical issues related to the discontinuity of pedestrian spaces, poor accessibility and lack of adequate street furniture. The project intends to respond to these critical issues through an inclusive and sustainable design that favours a new relationship between the city and the sea, emphasising Marsala's historical vocation as a crossroads of Mediterranean cultures. The main objective of the intervention is to enhance the relationship between the city and the sea, strengthening the public usability of the spaces and their historical, cultural and landscape value.

The intervention takes the form of a large, open, barrier-free, pacified platform that restores the city's link with the sea, making the seafront a place of social, cultural and recreational aggregation. A clear transition from the current barrier to a great resonant embrace with the Mediterranean Sea.

The project is developed with the intention of creating a welcoming entry point that invites visitors to explore and fully experience the surrounding environment. The pedestrian connections are not only functional, but become true welcoming gestures, designed to accompany those arriving towards the sea, almost as an invitation to discover a landscape that slowly reveals itself. The ramps and walkways are designed to be visually open, so that the passer-by can immediately perceive an atmosphere of openness and contact with the territory.

New Ognina Waterfront international competition, Catania

Here´s NáBITO architects proposal for this Settled urban competition

A key goal of the project is to integrate the historic village of Ognina with Catania's waterfront and revitalize the suburb. The master plan proposes removing the existing flyover that disrupts connectivity. In its place, a bicycle and pedestrian walkway will enhance views and create seamless access between the village, waterfront, and city.

The raised walkway will ensure safe passage for walkers and cyclists, highlighting harbor views and Ognina's history. Below, gardens will promote relaxation, while a refreshed main square with seating and shade trees will foster community gatherings and celebrate local culture. The project emphasizes local materials, using lava stone to outline pathways and the square, enhancing cultural identity and connecting to Catania's geological heritage.
