Residence in Ticino

High above Lake Maggiore, an exclusive residence impresses with its clear, minimalist design language and generous openness. Set into the steep hillside, two interlinked volumes accommodate eight spacious apartments that, despite their proximity, offer the privacy of a stand-alone villa.

Floor-to-ceiling air-lux window fronts open up panoramic views over the lake, seamlessly integrating the surrounding landscape into the living spaces. Generous layouts and expansive terraces enhance the sense of lightness and freedom. Refined interior finishes, bespoke design elements, and exquisite details combine timeless architecture with exclusive living comfort – showcasing how air-lux window concepts create new dimensions of transparency and elegance.

Scope of air-lux

  • 46 air-lux sliding windows, including four fully openable corners, manually operated (room height 2.8 metres)
  • sliding elements up to 4.8 metres in width without profile posts
