Casa dell’Amicizia

  • Viganello, Lugano
  • Perched on the hills of Lugano, Casa dell'Amicizia is a residence for 20 individuals, blending with the natural landscape. Inspired by Casa Bambu, it fosters unity across age groups: upper floors for the elderly, middle for families, and ground level for young adults. The core staircase serves as a meeting point. All living spaces face the south.
  • A green space in the middle connects to the communal area and staircase, providing a tranquil retreat and promoting togetherness. The structure's orientation maximizes light and offers panoramic views, while a mix of brick and concrete ensures stability and warmth, with upper apartments featuring balconies.
  • Casa dell'Amicizia embodies thoughtful, sustainable design, promoting unity and harmonizing with nature. The green central space enhances communal living, and practical construction methods ensure longevity and efficient temperature regulation, with a brick facade integrating seamlessly into the natural surroundings.
