Studio Apostoli to design two Cipriani projects

Studio Apostoli has been appointed to interior design and project manage the wellness areas of two new luxurious Cipriani hospitality destinations in Milan and Uruguay.

The first property to open will be Palazzo Bernasconi in Milan in 2021. Located in an early 20th century building, the boutique hotel complex will include a wellness centre divided into three sections for spa, beauty and fitness.

The design will feature a blend of precious materials including red French marble, onyx and mosaic accents, as well as gold finishes and cashmere fabrics.

The second property will be the Cipriani Ocean Resort, Club Residence and Casino in Punta del Este.

Designed by Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly, the new complex will include a faithful reconstruction of the pre-existing San Rafael hotel, which will preserve its original design.

Facilities within the 3,500sqm wellness area will include a medical section, a relaxation area and a spa divided into two separate paths for men and women, which will then be connected in a sensorial hammam experience.

Studio Apostoli founder Alberto Apostoli said: “Each Cipriani wellness space will have an aesthetic language that comes from the balance between essential lines, geometric volumes, materials and refined finishes. Exporting the best of Italian culture is Cipriani’s goal and the reason for its international success, and we are very proud to be part of these projects.”
