The narrow property, which stretches along a large length between theroad and the lake, has a wonderful view of Lake Maggiore and the Brissago Islands. The existing building consists of an ensemble of a main house and an old Ticino rustico.
The basic idea of the room filade from 1941 is 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 expression 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.
