WIDE-SHOT

LEA CERAMICHE

Carlos Rosario International PCS cooking school, Washington DC

In the luminous common areas of the Carlos Rosario International PCS cooking school visually interact with the exterior. Here Lea Ceramiche‘s ultra-thin slabs of laminated porcelain clad the entire surface area. The effect is echoing the exterior cladding which also made use of large slabs applied on a thermal insulation system.

The building was inaugurated in November 2013 in Washington DC. It contains a resource centre, offices, English and computer science classrooms, four culinary laboratories with kitchens, and a large caffetteria.
