Casa della Cucina

  • Viganello, Lugano
  • The concrete house with external insulation and stone cladding sits on a slope in Lugano, offering a beautiful view. It utilizes the kitchen as a common space to connect the apartment units. Each apartment is fully functional, but a flexible open space from the upper kitchen to the lower entrance encourages interaction.
  • Specific corners and large windows are adaptable for various uses. The layout transitions from private bedrooms upstairs to shared spaces downstairs.
  • The double-height common areas create a spacious feel and encourage vertical interaction. Each unit has a dry-wall garden, and a flower garden with local plants connects the house to the new donkey house.
