Rossinicinque

Adding to the recognitions for Rossinicinque Contemporary Living was also the Silver Winner of the Grands Prix du Design 2021 for the Residential Building category. Each year, the Grand Prix du Design celebrates the creative talent of international professionals, spanning architecture, building and real estate, interior design, landscaping, photography and product design. The competition is a gateway to extensive media coverage, reaching new markets and connecting with new customers.

The backdrop to the project is the city of Cagliari, which is developed close to the hills and overlooks the Golfo degli Angeli, according to a settlement pattern consisting mainly of residential buildings flush with the street. “In this landscape context, the Urban Revolution project is developed with a reconstruction intervention that ‘challenges’ the status quo of the area by interrupting the visual and constructive monotony of the terraced buildings” – Tomasi Edilizia.

The strong and essential lines of Rossinicinque, given by the symbolic element that characterises the main façade, are the result of a proportion between the vertical thrusts created by the sunshade and the horizontal thrusts of the terraces, which through plays of perspective harmonise the perception and impressiveness of the building. Together with the glass windows and the large terraces, two architectural elements stand out in the design: the wall partitions form a geometric pattern that creates a play of light and shadow, and the grigio scuro sunshade, a suitable finish to protect the interior spaces from the strong summer sun, a trend of the entire complex. This ‘red thread’ wraps around all the terraces of the building, connecting the back with the front, thus giving a homogeneous interpretation to the entire building and creating a play of colour contrasts with the large Laminam surfaces applied as external cladding to the façade. Chosen in the Neve shade of the Collection series in Laminam 3+ thickness and 500×1500 mm size, the neutral shade with a hint of silver recalls a feeling of freshness, fills spaces and volumes, restoring style, elegance, but also softness.
