Adaptive reuse without compromising the identity the building has acquired over time: this is what Isoplam continuous surfaces make possible in complex architectural restoration and heritage renovation projects.

The defining feature of the entire building is the monumental staircase, which rises between the existing stone columns and connects the different levels of the structure.

Featuring steps with an unusually slim thickness of just 8 cm, rather than the conventional 12 cm, the staircase was created using Isoplam Pavilux Overlay, a low-thickness solution based on a fibre-reinforced mineral hardening compound. The system provides an alternative to conventional concrete where the available build-up depth is limited.

Hand-finished to achieve a perfectly smooth, even surface with subtle tonal variations in a slightly darker shade, the staircase was then protected with a layer of Isoplam Plam Sealing acrylic resin. The resulting surface is stain-resistant, mould-resistant, antibacterial, and water- and oil-repellent.

The sense of visual continuity that defines the architecture is further enhanced by the seamless flooring created with Isoplam Skyconcrete Indoor in Dark Gray, used throughout all four levels of the building.

At just 3 mm thick, Skyconcrete Indoor combines the hardness and visual character of a concrete floor with an extremely low build-up. This made it possible to minimise the additional load on the existing structure, meeting one of the key requirements set by the architectural design team.

The Luigi Bailo Civic Museum has preserved a strong connection with its medieval and Renaissance heritage: underfoot, Isoplam Terrazzoverlay reinterprets a classic of Italian craftsmanship, Venetian terrazzo, as a high-performance, low-thickness surface.

Bringing together an ancient medieval convent and important collections of late 19th- and 20th-century art, the Luigi Bailo Civic Museum is the oldest of Treviso’s municipal museum venues.

Founded thanks to Abbot Luigi Bailo’s passion for collecting, the museum was recently refurbished and reopened to the public following the renovation of the north cloister and its adjoining galleries, doubling the exhibition space to 3,030 square metres.

Commissioned to Studiomas Architetti (Padua), in collaboration with Austrian architect Heinz Tesar, the extensive architectural and structural renovation has returned another significant part of Treviso’s rich civic heritage to the city.

The dialogue between past and present, historical memory and contemporary design, is expressed both in the relationship between architecture and exhibition design – with the medieval setting providing a backdrop for approximately 340 works dating from the late 19th century to the first half of the 20th century – and in the project’s material and decorative choices.

Guiding visitors through an exhibition route designed to flow continuously without retracing their steps is Isoplam Terrazzoverlay, a seamless surface that offers a contemporary interpretation of a classic of Venetian craftsmanship: Venetian terrazzo.

Transformed into an exceptionally durable and versatile flooring solution, at just 4–8 mm thick Terrazzoverlay combines the elegance of a timeless finish with outstanding performance, particularly in terms of sustainability. The surface is made exclusively from water-based products and natural aggregates.

For the Luigi Bailo Civic Museum, the blend of Italian marble and cementitious powder was specified in White and customised with premium mother-of-pearl inserts and other natural stones, creating a truly distinctive floor.

Specified in its polished indoor version, Terrazzoverlay proved to be the ideal solution not only for its distinctive aesthetic effects, which reference and evoke the character of the historic setting, but also for its resistance to heavy foot traffic – an essential requirement in high-traffic environments such as public buildings and sites of historical and cultural interest, including museums, exhibition spaces and communal areas.

The absence of grout lines or joints also creates a hygienic, easy-to-clean surface, while minimising maintenance requirements over time.

At the Bisazza Foundation in Montecchio Maggiore, the Isoplam Cloud Deco floor defines elegant and continuous exhibition spaces, where light, matter and design dialogue in perfect balance.

The flooring of the Bisazza Foundation, the prestigious cultural venue dedicated to design, contemporary architecture and photography, features Isoplam Deco Nuvolato across an area of approximately 7,500 sqm.

Located in Montecchio Maggiore (Vicenza), the Foundation opened in 2012 and houses a permanent collection of works and installations by internationally renowned designers and artists, alongside events and temporary exhibitions from around the world.

The selected colour is Light Gray, a neutral, elegant and luminous shade that provides the ideal backdrop for the works on display, enhancing them without competing with the colours or geometries of the installations.

The project, designed by architect Carlo Dal Bianco, known for his ability to combine tradition with contemporary design, uses the flooring as a visual framework, reinforcing spatial continuity and creating a consistent aesthetic throughout the exhibition areas.

With its distinctive clouded, subtly textured finish, Deco Nuvolato creates a refined visual experience. Its delicate variations between lighter and softly shaded areas interact gently with both natural and artificial light, contributing to the fluid and welcoming character of the spaces.

From a technical perspective, Deco Nuvolato is also well suited to environments with high visitor traffic, thanks to its ease of cleaning, low maintenance requirements and good resistance to wear.

A great space for meeting, knowledge and light. In the Library & Big Hall of the H-Farm campus, the Deco Cloudy Isoplam in Light Gray shades becomes continuous matter that accompanies the architecture of Richard Rogers.

The Library & Big Hall project forms part of the wider vision for the H-Farm campus – a large-scale educational and technology ecosystem where architecture, landscape and functionality come together.

Within this context, the choice of flooring plays a strategic role: the Light Gray clouded finish provides a neutral, refined backdrop that adapts to the different functions of the spaces – from the library to the conference areas – while creating a visual dialogue with the expansive glazed surfaces, transparent volumes and surrounding natural landscape.

From a technical perspective, Deco Nuvolato fully meets the requirements of high-traffic public spaces: a seamless surface, reduced thickness and a matt finish that ensures visual comfort and a clean, refined aesthetic. The flooring becomes an integral architectural element, interacting with light and enhancing the sense of space within the expansive hall.

The seamless flooring extends throughout the large interiors of the Library & Big Hall, creating a material connection between the different functional areas: from the library to the foyer, from the conference hall to the lounge areas. The Light Gray shade plays a key role in conveying lightness and depth, while the distinctive clouded texture creates a balanced and harmonious visual effect.

The architects at Zanon Architetti Associati, in collaboration with Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, transformed the flooring into a coherent architectural element, designed to interact with light and amplify the spatial perception of the large hall. The project was awarded “Italian Architect 2020”.

In the Redevelopment project of the Val di Croda, Pavilux Isoplam accompanies the interior and exterior spaces of the new multifunctional building, creating a material dialogue with wood, stone and landscape.

The redevelopment of the Ciampore area was conceived to enhance a clearing surrounded by woodland, transforming it into a new space for the local community and nature-based tourism.

The project by Corde Architetti Associati includes the landscaping of the park and the construction of a multi-purpose building housing a café, educational room, facilities and communal spaces, with the direct relationship between architecture and nature as a guiding design principle.

Within this context, Isoplam Pavilux in Cemento colour defines the flooring through a restrained, distinctly material aesthetic.

The neutral shade creates a subtle dialogue with the larch-clad volumes, the metal structure of the large canopy and the stone elements within the park.

The flooring thus becomes a discreet element of the architectural design, extending across the interiors and covered areas and reinforcing the visual continuity between the built environment and the spaces opening onto the surrounding landscape.

The choice of Pavilux also meets the functional requirements of a public building and its communal spaces, providing durable concrete flooring suitable for areas subject to frequent use and high foot traffic.

Outdoors, the colour blends with the natural tones of the setting without competing with the landscape; within the building, its material character complements a palette dominated by wood, metal and mineral surfaces.

Living in matter: a contemporary villa enhanced by the Deco Nuvolato floor.

A contemporary residence defined by clean, essential lines welcomes visitors into fluid spaces with a strong sense of material continuity between indoors and outdoors.

From the entrance through to the outdoor areas, Deco Nuvolato becomes a unifying element throughout the home, creating visual continuity between the architectural volumes, expansive glazed openings and surrounding greenery.

In the open-plan living area, the different zones of the home are brought together by a seamless surface with a strong architectural presence.

The expansive glazed openings enhance the natural light and bring out the subtle tonal variations of Deco Nuvolato, creating a sophisticated balance between dark furnishings, greenery and contemporary materials.

Its aged tonal variations, clearly visible in the outdoor areas and covered patio, recall the character of stone surfaces naturally weathered over time.

Subtle shifts in colour, delicate clouded effects and slight natural imperfections give the surface a rich, tactile and welcoming character, bringing warmth to the spaces while reinforcing the visual connection between architecture, landscape and interior design.

A contemporary residence designed by Piraccini+Potente Architettura that interprets the relationship between architecture, nature and matter with an essential and rigourous language.

The project unfolds as a small cluster of buildings immersed in the landscape, where pure volumes, tactile surfaces and expansive openings establish a dialogue with the surrounding environment.

For the outdoor areas of the residence, Isoplam Pavilux Industriale with a dry-shake quartz finish was selected as the seamless flooring solution. It complements the project’s minimalist aesthetic while providing high technical performance and long-term durability.

The surface extends seamlessly throughout the residence’s outdoor spaces, defining both vehicular and pedestrian areaswith a consistent material finish and an elegant, contemporary character.

The neutral tones of the concrete blend harmoniously with the timber cladding of the upper volumes and the surrounding natural landscape, reinforcing the understated, refined character of the project.

Created with a smooth finish and high-strength dry-shake quartz hardener, Pavilux Industriale delivers excellent mechanical performance even in areas subject to vehicular traffic, providing wear resistance, ease of maintenance and long-term durability.

The visual continuity of the surface, free from intrusive interruptions, further emphasises the architectural clarity of the project and enhances the perception of an open, fluid space.

In the Tree House project, the outdoor flooring thus becomes an integral part of the architectural composition: a discreet yet tactile surface that complements contemporary living through aesthetic balance, functionality and a strong connection with the landscape.

In the Treviso area, Isoplam moulded concrete defines the outdoor spaces of a private villa, creating a continuous material surface that accompanies swimming pool, solarium, paths and garden differences in height.

La progettazione degli spazi esterni di questa abitazione privata a Maser ruota attorno alla piscina e al rapporto diretto con il paesaggio.

La pavimentazione in cemento stampato Plam Stampable Isoplam si estende intorno alla vasca e diventa l’elemento che mette in relazione le diverse aree dell’outdoor, dal solarium ai percorsi immersi nel verde.

The surface, made in a light and natural shade, is characterised by an irregular texture that recalls the appearance of the stone.

The material processing visually moves the wide fields without interrupting their continuity and creates a balanced contrast with the pool water, the dark gravel and the vegetation.

The same language is also maintained on changes of altitude: steps, elevations and integrated seats become part of a single architectural design.

The choice of Plam Stampable allows you to combine the strong aesthetic characterisation required by a residential project with the needs of an outdoor flooring.

The absence of a regular texture of modular elements enhances the perception of the surface as a whole, while the printed finish gives depth and identity to the flooring.

The result is a coherent and contemporary outdoor, in which matter, water and landscape dialogue without the floor becoming a visually dominant element.

An industrial flooring for a NZEB building designed for the recovery of materials and the circular economy.

Designed by the SGLAB – Engineering and Architecture studio, the Reuse Centre in the province of Bologna is a NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) public building designed to encourage the recovery of materials and promote a culture of the circular economy.

The project interprets a public service through an essential architecture, characterised by authentic materials, clean volumes and a welcoming entrance covered in wooden slats, where the continuity of the surfaces contributes to the overall quality of the space.

For indoor and outdoor environments, Pavilux® was chosen, Isoplam’s continuous industrial floor that guarantees high mechanical performance, wear resistance and ease of maintenance.

The possibility of using the same industrial flooring for interior and exterior spaces allows you to develop a coherent project from an architectural point of view, eliminating visual interruptions and strengthening continuity between the different areas of the building.

A new stamped concrete a for logistics terminal flooring.

At the Grimaldi Palermo Euro Terminal a continuous external rock-effect flooring has been built.

The monolithic surface gives aesthetic continuity and high performance, making it ideal for logistics terminals, port areas and spaces subject to intense vehicular and operational traffic.

The intervention was designed to ensure a jointless industrial flooring, resistant to heavy loads, the continuous passage of operating vehicles and the typical stresses of the areas dedicated to the handling of goods.

Moulded concrete ensures durability, reduced maintenance and an architectural image coordinated with the terminal buildings.

Metal staircase coating for offices: continuous steps and landings in microcement.

Negli uffici della sede Adriacos di Latisana (UD) è stata realizzata una scala interna caratterizzata dal rivestimento continuo di 15 gradini e pianerottoli con Microverlay® Isoplam nella tonalità Carbon Black.

L’intervento valorizza la struttura metallica esistente con una superficie materica uniforme, senza fughe, capace di integrarsi con i nuovi spazi aziendali.

Il progetto dimostra come un rivestimento per scale interne possa trasformare una scala tecnica in un vero elemento architettonico.

Treads, landings and horizontal surfaces share the same finish, creating visual continuity with the glass balustrades and painted metalwork.

The subtle tonal variations typical of microcement add material depth without visually weighing down the interiors, while the absence of grout lines contributes to a clean, uncluttered aesthetic.

For executive offices and corporate environments, seamless microcement finishes are a solution valued by architects and designers, as they make it possible to renovate existing staircases while maintaining a minimalist, contemporary aesthetic.

The system’s reduced thickness allows treads and landings to be resurfaced without altering the geometry of the staircase, creating seamless surfaces that are easy to maintain and fully coordinated with the overall interior design.
