In Dubai there are also many partners who have collaborated in the Solar House, to finally see the work of Team Sapienza compleated: Knauf, Whirpool, Verde Profilo, Ilevia and obviously Forme d’Acqua, selected by La Sapienza University of Rome for the fountain of the central patio of the house.
Flora of the Le Sirene collection, an innovative and technological indoor fountain, has become the meeting point for visiting the house: the flow of water captures the attention and its innovative and technological features, combined with those of the house, are the starting point for presenting the project.
