Description
The narrow plot, with a long property line stretching
between the road and the lake, has a wonderful view of Lago Maggiore and the
Brissago Islands. The existing building consisted of an ensemble of a main
house and an old Ticino rustico. The basic idea from 1941 of an enfilade of
rooms was maintained and strengthened. By adding a new bedroom and making
adjustments to the existing floor plan, contemporary living is made possible
without changing the traditional look of the house towards the lake. The
rustico was renovated and converted into a tiny guest house by adding a minimal
concrete extension. A filigree lift tower connects the new parking deck with
the property.
