Last week Italy’s largest trade fair for architecture Made Expo took place in Milan attracting more than 250 thousand visitors from all over Europe. Because there is much demand in Italy for our products, we have also presented our wood construction system to Italian investors, developers, architects and the interested public.   The wooden presentation room, the photos of reference projects and the announcement of the D. E. A. R. S by Starck with Riko have aroused much interest among the visitors of the trade fair.

Italian art, architecture, fashion, gastronomy and design are proof of the fact that the Italians enjoy top performances achieved when perfect aesthetics blend with creative concepts and great executions. And they are sure to find joyful living spaces in our houses.   As the Italians are also ecologically oriented, we at Riko Hiše have been present in the Italian market for a number of years. We have constructed several public building in Italy, e.g. the wooden extension to the MIB School of Management in Trieste and the wooden Stella Tetra Pak kindergarten, but also residential houses –ranging from holiday homes to multi-family houses. It was also in Italy that one of our houses proved to be earthquake-resistant:  It was one of the few houses in the village of Scoppito which survived the devastating 5.6 Richter scale earthquake.

This year we have built many houses in Italy and just completed a building last week: The house is located in the idyllic village of Borgone Susa in relatively inaccessible terrain. Thanks to many years of experience, we are able to cope well with the various challenges –such as inaccessible terrain. Thorough project work and highly qualified assembly specialists have helped to quickly solve the problem so that the house was completed within less than two weeks.
