A natural landscape
recreated by man

Project: Studio DNA Design Lab
Location: Lussemburgo
Installation: MGS - Marble & Granite Service
Products: Camouflage, Taj Mahal®, Cristallo Traslux, Cappuccino, Calacatta OMG

Is it possible to recreate a Mediterranean landscape on the 26th floor of a Luxembourg skyscraper? The Penthouse Luxembourg project, curated by DNA Design Lab, takes inspiration from Monaco’s Jardin Exotique to recreate bright, green and welcoming atmospheres in a 260 m² fully glazed penthouse.
In this context, MGS – Marble & Granite Service was tasked with translating the design vision into reality, using the exclusive product line from Antolini Luigi Spa.

The main natural rock for this project is Camouflage marble. Its vibrant surface in neutral, sandy tones covers the walls and furnishings of the living and dining areas, interacting with the oak panelling and the light filtering through the large windows. The same marble was chosen for the kitchen, where it defines the back wall, the worktop and the peninsula table, creating visual continuity with the living area.

The conviviality continues in the large loggia, where two stones from the Antolini® Exclusive Collection have been used. The outdoor kitchen with barbecue is clad in Taj Mahal® quartzite, while the bar counter, thanks to the Cristallo Traslux backlighting, highlights the delicate veins on the pearly background of this crystal.
Even the bathrooms speak the language of natural stone: Cappuccino granite, with its warm, parallel veins, defines the guest area, while Calacatta OMG marble covers the floors and walls of the main bathroom, providing brightness and material continuity.

Every detail is the result of collaboration between architects, designers and craftsmen. The project demonstrates how MGS, together with Antolini®, knows how to interpret the needs of an international market, reaffirming the value of Made in Italy around the world: creative courage, technical expertise and excellent craftsmanship that transform natural stone into an element that creates living spaces.

A service designed by MGS to ensure that every project, even years later, retains the elegance and quality that made it unique from the outset.

In the powerful landscape of the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona, ‘Solace’ comes to life: the redesign of a 650 m² villa that combines architectural vision and natural materials. The US firm JSF Design Inc., which redesigned the structure, relied on the beauty of Italian natural stone, selected, processed and installed by MGS – Marble & Granite Service and Galleria of Stone AZ, The Italian Stone Boutique in Phoenix.

The interior is dominated by the kitchen, the meeting point of the house and the beating heart of the project. Paonazzo, an Italian marble with intense and dramatic veins, covers the walls and the central island, giving identity to the space.
In the master bathroom, in a play of transparencies and natural reflections, the choice fell on the hypnotic elegance of Silver Roots. The veins of this marble, which covers the washbasin top and the entire shower area, create an intimate atmosphere.

Completing the sleeping area, the fireplace in the master bedroom becomes a textured sculpture thanks to Striato Tortora, laid in an open pattern, whose warm and harmonious tones reinforce the feeling of comfort and pleasure.
The choice of material for the outdoor area took particular account of the villa’s unique location: Cristallo Lumix, a natural quartz with ethereal shades, was chosen for its resistance and timeless beauty, making it perfect for outdoor use.

Each room is the result of a shared design effort: MGS supported the team in all phases of the project, from co-design to material consulting, from precise and respectful installation of the stone to the most delicate part: post-installation assistance. This type of stone requires tailored maintenance designed to preserve its natural beauty over time, protecting it from wear, weathering and alterations.

Un progetto unico a Cortina d’Ampezzo: la trasformazione di un ex fienile

Nel cuore delle Dolomiti, a Cortina d’Ampezzo, un affascinante progetto ha preso vita grazie alla visione di professionisti che hanno saputo unire tradizione e innovazione. L’intervento ha riguardato la ristrutturazione di un ex fienile, un edificio che porta con sé la storia della montagna, ma che oggi si presenta in una veste completamente rinnovata, pensata per rispondere alle esigenze moderne, senza però tradire le radici architettoniche del passato.

Il progetto è stato seguito con grande cura dall’architetto Ambra Piccin, che ha saputo valorizzare l’autenticità del luogo, e da Sabrina Solda di SAP Management, che ha garantito la realizzazione di un intervento attento e funzionale, con particolare attenzione alla sostenibilità e al rispetto dell’ambiente circostante.

Per il progetto sono state scelte due pietre principali, ognuna con caratteristiche che rispondono perfettamente alle esigenze funzionali ed estetiche dell’intervento. La quarzite nera, con la sua finitura rock finish, è stata utilizzata per rivestire il camino, creando un effetto naturale e rustico che si integra magnificamente con l’ambiente circostante. Questa stessa pietra è stata impiegata anche per la cucina, una scelta che ne evidenzia la resistenza e la durabilità. Anche in questo caso, la finitura rock finish è stata scelta per la veletta, mentre il lavabo è stato assemblato, dando vita a un design elegante e pratico al tempo stesso.

Per i bagni, invece, è stata utilizzata la pietra Silver Roots a macchia aperta, che si sposa perfettamente con i colori caldi del legno naturale. 

La combinazione di questa pietra dalle sfumature chiare e calde con il legno conferisce agli ambienti un’atmosfera accogliente e sofisticata, creando un contrasto piacevole e armonioso.

Material: Emerald Quarzite - Explosion Blue - Onice Ivory

We present our residential project in Emerald Quartzite, Explosion Blue, and Onyx Ivory, materials that combine elegance and durability.

Every detail has been carefully crafted, from the selection of slabs to the final processing, to create a result that speaks for itself.

 

have created a shower entirely clad in Emerald Quartzite, with an integrated bench that invites relaxation, and we chose the same material for both floors and wall coverings, creating an elegant and harmonious atmosphere.

The sink top completes the design, adding a touch of class.

The shower cladding in the second bathroom, made of Explosion Blue, has been lightened and backlit, enhancing the natural veins of the stone in the evening hours. The same material was chosen for the floors and top, creating an elegant and harmonious atmosphere. The real surprise is at the entrance, where an open-pore wall in backlit Onyx Ivory diffuses a warm and suggestive light, making it the focal point of the apartment.

Bespoke project in Antwerp: Nero Marquina meets sartorial architecture by Dieter Vander Velpen
In an elegant residential development in Antwerp, MGS had the honor of collaborating with Dieter Vander Velpen Architects, renowned for their essential and refined aesthetic. The project, commissioned by Il Granito Natursteen BVBA, involved the custom fabrication of elements in Nero Marquina, an iconic stone characterized by its bold white veining, standing out for its intensity and character. The Nero Marquina, carefully selected by MGS, was employed to create a bathroom space where luxury and functionality blend in harmony. The stone clads the interior of the shower and the finest details of the bathroom, transforming every surface into a bold architectural statement. The material’s deep black tone interacts with contemporary lines and rigorous volumes, enhancing the architect’s design vision and the client’s desire for an exclusive, intimate, and sophisticated environment.

Each element was crafted custom-made, through a process in which MGS supported both the studio and the client during the consultation phase, advising on the most suitable stone for the intended use conditions.
A commitment to complete care that reflects our philosophy: to give tangible form to the client’s ideas, enhancing the beauty of natural stone with expertise and precision.

This project fully embodies the mission of MGS: to guide each client in bringing their boldest visions to life, with courage, creativity, punctuality, and an unwavering focus on detail.

We thank Il Granito for choosing the excellence of MGS.
