RESEARCH MENU COLLE LORETO RESIDENCE Lugano - Switzerland / 2010-2016 architecture , private IMAGES show more In Lugano, near the lake, the project called Colle Loreto is currently under construction. The building appears as a single volume, oriented along the east-west axis towards the lake; inside it is planned to build 16 high-standing apartments. The volume, strongly characterized by the supporting structure in reinforced concrete, is supported exclusively by the two staircases that connect the various living levels, thus giving rise to two large overhangs, 20 m towards the lake and 12 m towards the mountain, which strongly mark the structural aspect. Precisely by virtue of this architectural choice all the apartments are without pillars, thus allowing the creation of internal environments that enjoy high flexibility of spaces and very large external environments. The property consists of a porticoed ground floor, where there are two stairways that allow access to the 4 upper floors; between the two staircases there is a large window overlooking the basement where there is the swimming pool and a large fitness area, complete with sauna and changing rooms; the appurtenant cellars are distributed on the same floor. On the lower level, underground, there are 36 parking spaces and the technical rooms for the systems. Each floor of the building consists of 3 main housing types, all with large loggias and large openings, in addition to the hanging gardens on the fourth floor; inside, all the technological solutions adopted are designed to guarantee a high standard, both from a thermal and acoustic point of view. The design of the plants is aimed at obtaining a reduction in energy consumption; the air conditioning system of the apartments consists of radiant floor panels powered by a heat pump system connected to geothermal probes. The internal partitions and false ceilings are made of plasterboard, while the floors and walls are made of stone and wood. The external windows, in laminated glass, guarantee a high degree of insulation, while all the parapets are made of crystal to facilitate direct relationship with the panorama.
