racing the cover of this issue of
Architecture and Design Magazine
is the iconic Farsons Brewhouse—a
powerful example of how architecture can
connect the past with the future.
Recently, this Grade 2 historic site underwent
a remarkable metamorphosis, seamlessly
blending the old with the new in a project led
by renowned architect Ian Ritchie; a project
that has captured the attention of the global
architecture and design community.
In an exclusive interview with Michael Farrugia,
Deputy CEO of Farsons plc, and son of
visionary Louis Farrugia, we delve into the
decade-long journey that honours a legacy
while inspiring future generations.
Dive into this feature to discover how the
blending of heritage and innovation has set
a new standard for industrial regeneration in
Malta.
Additionally, this issue takes you inside
the luxurious Best View Luxury Suites
in Sliema, offering breathtaking views
of Malta's Capital City, Valletta, and its
historic bastions. These exquisite suites
provide a perfect blend of tranquility and
cosmopolitan living, offering an experience
comparable to a 5-star hotel.
We also explore the creative journey of
Simon Abela, an acclaimed interior architect
with an impressive international career in
luxury hospitality design.
Abela reflects on his early inspirations in
theatre set design and his evolution into
a designer of some of the world's most
elegant spaces, discussing his design
philosophy, key influences, and future
aspirations.
We welcome you to another edition of
Architecture and Design Magazine.
