Hadir Al Koshta — Sun, 27 Jul 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Casa Terra e Vidru was developed by the studio Architecture for Humans in collaboration with designer Fabrizio Carboni and architect Enrico Manca. The project emerged from the client's desire to create a personal home while allocating part of the space for short-term rentals. Located in the urban area of Cagliari, the house still draws deep inspiration from the Sardinian landscape and its materiality.

Renovation of Piazza San Michele / VPS Architetti

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 11 Aug 2019 01:00:00 +0000

The design for Piazza San Michele, the main public space in the one of Cagliari’s "central peripheries", was based on the site’s main geometric and spatial elements: The original Via Abruzzi, which crossed the square until the 1970s; the church axis; and the square’s oval space determined by the positions of the major trees, in particular the pines. The street and the axes intersect the oval to define the main access paths that, in turn, determine the tree-lined sectors that form the square’s edge.

Residential Building in Cagliari / Dante O. Benini & Partners Architects

Silvio Carta — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000

The Bonaria quarter -in the south-east part of Cagliari- is an area characterized by an uneven topography and abundant housing developments which major part is dated from the fifties onwards. It is an area of fairly high natural elements (the hill of the Basilica of Bonaria) in a strong contrast with steep slopes overlooking the Mediterranean sea of the gulf of Cagliari. In such peculiar and privileged residential context, Dante O. Benini was asked to design another new vertical element featuring the city skyline in a strong manner.

Condominio CH / C+C04STUDIO

Silvio Carta — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Condominio CH is a renovation of a building to house four small residential units. The building was built in the 80s in a peripheral area of the city completely urbanized and built up spontaneously from the '70s until the mid 90s, until the local government deregulation has finally converted into a buildable plan of urban renewal. The building, originally built for a family, was purchased, restored and put on the market by a building contractor who has grasped the need to intervene through an operation that was not merely intended to install a new feature in the building, but can reveal some quality - already inexplicably present - highlighted by the intervention of recovery. The project originates from the request of the client to create a new image of the building.

Condominio T / C+C04STUDIO

Silvio Carta — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0000

The building is located in the city of Quartu S. Elena: a conurbation a few miles away from Cagliari. Despite the municipal development plan classifies the site as part of an area characterized by a consolidated fabric, the construction activities, mostly aimed at the construction of family houses and small apartment buildings, has produced in the nineties signs of transformation of the urban fabric. Incidents of illegal, poor quality control, reduced maintenance on existing buildings, the street and adjacent neighborhoods make a pleasant environment in terms of architecture and urban planning certainly not unattractive.

Condominio M / C+C04STUDIO

Silvio Carta — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0000

The building is located in the hinterland of Cagliari, in one of the smaller towns developed in the 60s and 70s of the twentieth century and lacking in the quality of construction and form. From these boundary conditions, the design of new residential building comes with a strong propensity to volumetric rigor and close to context, in an attempt to create a new urban rule capable of suggesting new scenarios of order and thoroughness. This attitude translates into an architecture characterized by strict volumes, almost entirely closed to the public roads, with small windows on the street and large openings to the courtyard facing south.

Condominio P / C+C04STUDIO

Silvio Carta — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000

"Condominio P" is a residential building located in Cagliari. The complex lies in an area affected by profound changes in urban planning and architecture, not all positive. While the building fabric of the neighborhood - characterized by small low buildings developed in the 30s and 50s - has been transformed in the nineties by operations that have produced new replacement buildings of modest architectural quality, future projects seem to reverse a negative trend once ugly and anonymous.
