Tourism in the spotlight<\/h2>\n

Every territory has a voice. Our task is to build its shape. <\/p>\n

The Alba Tourism Office<\/a> redevelopment project<\/strong> allowed us to shape a strategic public space<\/strong> in the heart of the Langhe<\/strong> with a clear vision<\/strong>: to create an environment capable of welcoming<\/strong>, orienting<\/strong> and telling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A place that, while maintaining an institutional function<\/strong>, must restore anexperience of warmth<\/strong>, functionality<\/strong> and deep connection with the local landscape and culture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Identifying design and operational functionality in downtown Alba<\/h2>\n

A new space to welcome, inform, tell<\/h3>\n

The new Alba Tourism Office<\/a><\/strong>, in Piazza Risorgimento 2<\/strong>, is now a modular and dynamic environment<\/strong>, redesigned to improve usability<\/strong> and restore coherence<\/strong> between function and image<\/strong>. The pre-existing space<\/strong> – about 110 square meters<\/strong> in a 1980s structure – has been completely transformed<\/strong> according to a concept developed by Arch. Marco Poncellini and Elisabetta Grasso<\/strong> (Langhe Experience<\/strong><\/a>), in close synergy with Saglietti Group<\/strong><\/a>, which handled executive design, production, construction management and construction site.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Materials<\/strong>, colors<\/strong>, and geometries<\/strong> are designed to enhance territorial identity<\/strong>: solid oak<\/strong>, natural finishes<\/strong>, warm tones<\/strong>, and backlit images of the hills<\/strong> create an immersive environment<\/strong> designed to welcome visitors<\/strong> and tell them about an area<\/strong> even before words, with the space itself.<\/p>\n

The heart of the project<\/strong> is a large solid oak central table<\/strong>, made from Legnami Priola<\/strong><\/a>: symbolic and functional fulcrum of the reception. Concentric circles<\/strong> develop from this point: double-sided information modules, four accessible operating stations, a children’s corner, backlit visual drapes, and narrative points designed for all audiences. <\/p>\n

Within the tight timeframe imposed by the construction site (30 days)<\/strong>, the existing porcelain tile raised floor<\/strong> was enhanced<\/strong> through custom-made solid oak squares<\/strong>, thanks to the collaboration with Giorio Srl<\/strong><\/a>: a solution that integrates plant functionality and aesthetic comfort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The details revealSaglietti Group’s attention to craftsmanship<\/strong>: curved skirting boards shaped to fit existing columns<\/strong>, a custom-made cover for the air conditioning pump<\/strong> turned into a display cabinet<\/strong>, counters accessible to people with disabilities<\/strong> without sacrificing aesthetics.<\/p>\n

Synergy between design, production and construction site<\/h2>\n

A full service: from concept to assembly<\/h3>\n

The strength of Saglietti Group<\/strong><\/a> is the ability to offer a integrated service<\/strong>, where every stage-from<\/strong> design<\/strong> to production<\/strong> to assembly-is<\/strong> handled in-house<\/strong> with precision, reliability, and attention to detail.<\/p>\n
