In the city of Cagliari, the Urban Revolution project is located in the consolidated urban core of the San Benedetto district where the constructive monotony is carried out flush with street. It was decided to “challenge” the quo status of the area, moving the new building backwards and introducing a new green urban area between the building and the public road.
The project consists in a new little public park overlooked by a new building of 5 floors above ground plus an attic with a terrace above. There are four elements that strongly characterize the design of the building.
The partition walls, imposed as classifiers of spaces creating an opaque curtain to protect the interior spaces and configures a geometric pattern creating a mix of light and shadow that qualifies the project.
The stained-glass windows, characterizing the façade envisaging the new public space. Their positioning allows the internal units to open up to the new urban space, connecting both private and public spaces.
The terraces, providing a private open space in a city context and creating a filter area between the external public and the internal private spaces, with the LED lighting bands placed along each profile creating a strong visual impact.
The brise-soleil, a suitable finish to protect the interior spaces from the strong summer solar radiation, enveloping the terraces with a metallic finish in dark colours and the white wall tiles, giving a homogeneous look to the entire building.
