The Villa is situated on the summit of Colle di Bonaria, or Bonaria Hill. It lies at the margin of the piazza that separates the basilica from the area built up with mulitfloor buildings and the public park that leads downwards towards the touristy port. The building's position is unique because it is the first private structure on the margin of the park that has a dominant presence over the landscape. The house is a point of privileged observation with respect to the city, the sea, and for those at sea who use the hill as a point of reference.

The project resulted in the radical transformation of the existing house that had previously been enlarged around its 1920's nucleus. Progressively it had lost its architectonic form. The project proposed the restoration of spaces lost internally and externally through a major recomposition of its volumes in order to rationally distribute them, even with a double volume, and define the privileged location of the residence. The addition of the loggia was a significant and timely choice because it made the exterior come together with the interiors. Following this idea, two terraces were placed on each floor on the south and west façades of the house. They have a strong connection to the double-story living room on the angle. This space came from demolishing the floor between the ground and the first level of the preexisting building.

With regard to the prospective, various relationships with the context produced a hierarchy. The facades are more or less compact and uniformly sided with the local Calcarea stone. The only façade sided with white lime plaster is the one facing east. It is the only that could be considered a back façade.

The role of the yard, even though it is not very large, establishes a precise environment in its confrontation with the open spaces that encircle the house. It helps to form the limit between the public park and the private yard. The idea of this boundary is actually quite abstract, therefore a simple straight wall was built following the lines of the terrain.

This wall is a piece of architecture in and of itself. It was constructed with rough-cut basalt blocks laid dry and it has a texture to it that reminds one of an agricultural wall that divides the Sardinian farms. The blackness of the basalt contrasts with the whiteness of the Orosei stone on the house.

This contrast accentuates the structure with its boundaries at various poses.
The yard around the house is paved with small uniform basalt blocks where there is the main access to the piazza. The private part is a grassy mantle with mostly local plants growing on it. Along the basalt wall is a myrtle bush, in front of the loggia is a hundred year old mastic tree, and next to the main entrance is a wild olive tree. A small palm grove was planted to complete the landscaping of the more private part of the yard.
