Villa in Ticino
Project information
Perched on a spectacular hillside in Ticino, this villa stands out with its uncompromising architectural language. The building envelope features a ventilated façade made of black ESG glass, giving the structure a monolithic, almost sculptural presence. Expansive window fronts open up breathtaking views over Lake Lugano.
The integration of air-lux sliding windows slanted 5° outward, combined with switchable SageGlass, posed a particular challenge and required the highest level of precision in planning and execution.
The demanding topography called for creative logistical solutions – some façade elements had to be delivered by helicopter.
