A panoramic view over the Adriatic introduces the JC penthouse in Riccione, which tells its story through a narrative of material, rhythm, and spatial relationships. The result of a full renovation, the project by architect Giada Spano interprets a new vision of contemporary living, rethinking the layout according to functional criteria. The space distribution is fluid, the palette coherent and harmonious, playing with neutral tones, textured surfaces, and bold color accents.

The layout was completely redesigned to meet the owners' most recent needs, enhancing the permeability between indoors and outdoors, as well as the continuity between the different areas of the penthouse. The interior unfolds seamlessly, with light and materials defining spatial hierarchies as partitions are lightened. The heart of the home is now the living area with an open kitchen, featuring a satin steel island, extruded terracotta elements, and designer ceramics: a large, fluid environment that opens to the outside thanks to expansive glass surfaces.
Within this visual grammar, Albed partitions integrate seamlessly. Two solutions were adopted: between the kitchen and living room, the Quadra system outlines a light wall through a wide sliding opening, mounted on a ceiling track, with black lacquered aluminium profiles and bronzed smoked glass panels—chosen to ensure visual continuity and stylistic coherence. In the sleeping area, the transition between the master bedroom and bathroom is created with sliding panels in natural aluminium and pleated glass, also from the Quadra collection. The texture of the panels creates the effect of a light, almost textile-like screen, punctuated by thin vertical stripes.
'I don't believe in standard designs: every space, with its unique and unrepeatable characteristics, requires customised solutions,' says Giada Spano. 'My goal is to create environments that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and most importantly, identity driven. With Albed, I found a solid and responsive partner, able to support designers in shaping authentic spaces,' concludes the designer.
