About Casa CiP
Reviving History with Casa CiP’s Modern Touch

This stone-clad, second-floor home, designed in 2019, showcases the dedication to preserving the essence of Mediterranean architecture while introducing contemporary elements. The building’s unique non-orthogonal walls and barrel vaults made of tuff blocks are a testament to the traditional construction techniques of the region. A Blend of Old and New

It features thick load-bearing walls that dictate room layouts, while a cleverly integrated annex offers modern living conveniences.
