Case Study – Casa unifamiliare Massera – 2009

  • Biasca, Ticino
  • Casa Unifamiliare Massera is a one-story house in Biasca with a symmetrical design. Its striking steel trusses and concrete walls create a floating appearance, with a covered storage area beneath accessible by an external ramp.
  • Large glass façades on the east and west sides allow for expansive views and natural light but reduce privacy, creating an extroverted living environment.
  • To address privacy, the interior features curtains that can be drawn as needed, while light wooden walls soften the bold exterior design.
