Brick with a unique combination of raw material and geometrical purity
Roberto MURGIA
The challenge of combining tradition and innovation, raw material and geometrical purity has been met on the façade of the Hotel Magna Pars Suites in Milan thanks to custom-made Terreal San Marco bricks!
The façade of the extension to the Hotel Magna Pars Suites in Milan is, over and above the technical skill employed, an aesthetic gem. No fewer than 10,000 Terreal bricks were needed to clad this 15m-high polished steel openwork wall. It was a major challenge which called for the expertise and unfailing motivation of the Terreal teams. In order to realize the ambitions of the architect, Roberto Murgia, and meet the demands of the project, the bricks were custom-made by being moulded by hand from a soft paste. Unique objects in terms of
their size, the position and size of the fastening holes... and, more unexpectedly, also aesthetically with the use
of a special light-coloured clay paste and finished with a coarse quartz sand.
