"Kanchan beige" - Claudio Nardi

Armonia tra spazi: Pavimentazione Ville Sbaiz

The Ville Sbaiz project in Lignano Sabbiadoro embraces the concept of a home that merges with its environment, eliminating the separation between interior and exterior.

Architect Claudio Nardi selected Indian sandstone "Kanchan Beige" flooring, which echoes the area's golden sand. This stone, composed of petrified sand grains, offers durability and water permeability and has been widely used in construction and architecture for centuries.

"The design of these five single-family homes stems from the idea of conceptualizing the house as an intimate space for daily living, without creating a rupture between the exterior and interior. Instead, it enriches this relationship through the design of a transitional space between the two elements." (Arch. Claudio Nardi)

Lignano Sabbiadoro serves as a lens through which we view the urban reality. Drawing from the identity conveyed by the name 'golden sand,' Claudio Nardi chose flooring that reflects the element with which the interiors interact with the outdoors.

During his research on materials, Nardi discovered Indian sandstone, specifically the beige Kanchan variety, which is essentially sand petrified over millions of years.

The term "sandstone" comes from the Latin word arena, meaning sand, and sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of sand grains. Its color can vary from quarry to quarry depending on the different metals present in the rock.

Additionally, sandstone's porosity can make it somewhat water-permeable. However, its durability and ease of processing make it a highly valued material in various sectors, including construction and architecture, and it has been used for these purposes since ancient times.
