There are places that look like postcards, true earthly paradises where colours and shapes outline the features of natural works of art. Among these, at the top of the world rankings, is certainly Puerto Rico, an explosion of sunshine and beauty, unconscious synonymous with cheerfulness.
In the heart of the island, at the centre of the "Cordillera Central" - the great mountain range crossing Puerto Rico from west to east - the town of Orocovis is a triumph of the most unspoilt nature, home to a rural society where many inhabitants are farmers rather than businessmen.
Here, the team of Elsie Torres Interior Designs, Inc, an architecture and interior design firm renowned for its residential and commercial work not only in Puerto Rico, but also in Arizona, Orlando, Miami and Spain, oversaw the construction project of an elegant single-family residence, including Ceramiche Caesar as one of the suppliers of porcelain stoneware for indoors and outdoors.
Situated on a hilltop and surrounded by greenery, the villa is the result of a close contact between artificial and natural space. Both indoor and outdoor areas blend harmoniously with their surroundings and avoid abrupt stylistic reversals.
The Life collection by Ceramiche Caesar fits perfectly into this context: a natural wood-effect porcelain stoneware in the darkest shade, Noce, used to follow up on that general sense of well-being conveyed by the breathtaking surroundings.
Life was chosen to decorate the floors of the large living room, veranda, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms; it is also laid as a wall covering in the bathrooms and shower.
Outdoors, Life's wood-effect ceramics decorate the large staircase leading to the door of the house, a natural red carpet that does not neglect elegance.
The perfect marriage of refined simplicity and design is thus celebrated, with the technical performance of ceramics acting as witness. Life guarantees excellent performance in terms of reliability and inalterability over time, as well as extreme resistance to a wide variety of stresses such as wear, scratches and stains.
