Villaggio di Ruggine
- Viganello, Lugano
- Located at the base of Monte Brè, this smaller development in Lugano harmonizes with its surroundings and urban density, ensuring quality living for all ages. Transitional spaces encourage diverse interactions, influenced by the flexible Casa Tonini grid for adaptable architecture and varied uses.
- Glazed corridors serve as dynamic conservatories, doubling as offices or observation points and breaking up the buildings' monolithic appearance with illuminated views at night.
- A central stairwell integrates communal facilities such as kitchens and hobby rooms, connecting floors and ensuring flexibility with a concrete base and timber structure. Corten steel accents blend with Lugano's colors over time, complemented by green terrazzo, spruce wood, or fine-grained plaster floors in public areas.
