The project involves the renovation of the ex-Student House of Lugano, built in 1967 by the architects Marazzi, Lucchini and Pedrotti and re-designed as an Administrative Office Buildingfor the Canton of Ticino, preserving the essential characteristics that distinguish the original architecture of irrefutable quality.
A complete refurbishment was necessary to meet both the functional needs of the client and the present-day energy, technical and safety standards. The extreme conceptual and structural clarity of the original modular building facilitated the simple reinterpretation by the architects Durisch + Nolli.
