The Jury awards the Design Award to Villa Ricotta II, a private residence in Marbella, Málaga, made with 5000 m² of Piedra Paloma for cladding and flooring, and 200 m³ of solid material sculpted into columns, capitals, bases, cornices and other decorative elements. In it, the execution of 22 columns (14 with Corinthian-style capitals and 8 with Ionic capitals) stands out, up to 8 meters high, with the characteristic that the shafts have been made in a single piece of almost 6 m.
