NIZZA PARADISE RESIDENCE
NIZZA PARADISE
Location: Paradiso, Lugano, SwitzerlandBuilding area: 6750 sqmDate: 2014 – 2017
Nizza Paradise Residence is the first prize winner of a contest of ideas which focused on the design of a luxury resort in Paradiso. The project concept originated from the study of shape of the terrain. This analysis allowed the translation of natural language into architecture by transforming the slope’s soft lines into constructive ones. The shape is due to the upward development of the land’s contour lines and it consists of a composition of horizontal layers formed by slabs and glass walls. These, opening onto deep terraces, overlook the wood to the west, Guidino Park to the east and Lugano Lake to the south.
