Casa di Divisione

  • Viganello, Lugano
  • My complex is about the relationship of the house and the people with the outside world, which is lacking in today's society. The outdoor area has been divided into different activity zones to offer something for every resident, regardless of age.
  • While the night side of the house is built into the hill, the southern day side opens up to the village and the sun with large windows. Different positioning of the interior walls in the night area allows for a free choice of room sizes, while the open spaces in the day area can be used for a wide variety of communal activities.
  • These two areas are separated by a two-story cupboard with openings that allow light into the corridor and can also be used as a workspace.
