Case Study – Casa Festa Rovera-Rigo – 1997
- Bosco Luganes, Ticino
- Casa Festa Rovera-Rigo is a single-family house in Bosco Luganes, designed for privacy while blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The façades, made of textured limestone, resemble the calcareous rock beneath, minimizing the material's weight.
- The house follows the area's typical construction style and takes advantage of the hilly topography. A concrete entrance ensures privacy, with the front façade shielded by bushes, while rooms are layered to offer a gradual transition from private to shared spaces.
- The house features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views of Lake Lugano, with the most frequently used rooms located on the outer layer, opening up to the private garden.
