THE RESIDENCE
Residenza La Foresta is located in Bissone, at the top of Via San Nicolao, in a privileged position with an exceptional view of Lake Lugano.
One of the main features of the project is its insertion and integration into the natural mountainous environment that surrounds it: the construction follows the natural slope of the land, organizing all the apartments towards the back in relation to those below, and exploiting the roofs to create large terraces and roof gardens.
The façades are characterised by the balanced contrast between the travertine, whose natural streaks enhance the horizontality of the protruding floors, and the bronze-coloured metal, which emphasises the vertical strip elements, the window and door frames and the large planters that break up and blur the course of the elevations, interspersing the rigour of the construction with the variety of the planting.
The residential complex is entirely oriented on an East-West axis, which allows for soft light in the morning and more intense light from lunchtime. It consists of 10 residential units, two penthouses on two levels of 5.5 meters, four apartments on levels of 4.5 meters, two levels of 3.5 meters and two levels of 2.5 meters. It is arranged on five levels above ground, the ground floor of which is a parking lot of 24 spaces with 10 private cellars and service rooms.
The design strategy to ensure the best possible lighting for all the individual homes is simple and effective: the apartments are arranged in an "L" shape, allowing all the main rooms of the homes to have direct access to the generous terraces and to enjoy the view that surrounds them.
The morphology of the building has been studied so that the juxtaposition of the different units can guarantee everyone the privacy best suited to fully enjoy the outdoor spaces: the staggered arrangement of the apartments and the horizontal separation by means of large flower boxes make it possible to avoid vis-à-vis while preserving the "green" identity of the whole.
THE APARTMENTS
All apartments are characterized by entrances to service areas such as the cloakroom and the guest bathroom. Continuing, one enters the large open living area, with the kitchen, TV and dining area in sequence, until one encounters the large full-height windows with lake views, which directly overlook the terraces and gardens of the property.
The living spaces are extremely convivial places, specially designed to accommodate the greatest number of people by bringing them together in front of a film, allowing them to enjoy the kitchen with its large peninsula or the best view during meals.
The exterior terraces are spacious and benefit from the best possible exposure, guaranteeing, by their conformation, a high degree of privacy between the adjacent apartments and those located above.
The night corridor is reduced to a minimum and equipped with fixed cabinets in order to use all the available space, while the bathrooms are always equipped with large showers with a modern design, ample space for sinks and complete sanitary facilities; in addition, the larger accommodations are equipped with a practical laundry room.
The rooms are generous and have sliding windows overlooking the terraces. Their size allows them to be furnished in different ways without losing their functionality. The master bedrooms are true suites with dressing room and private full bathroom.
The floors in all rooms and corridors are made of oak.
