Ticino Architecture : Contemporary House

House in Carabbia, Ticino - Switzerland Carabbia is a little village of approx 600 inhabitants. It rises on the western side of Mount San Salvatore slope in a beautiful bowl. This building responds to the owner’s wish to live in an intimate space, as if it were a shell. photos : Pino Musi Carved in a clear square geometry, the spaces meet the slope and extend in a spiral - fluent movement that constantly changes the perception of the space and its relation with the exterior, offering privileged views towards the beautiful landscape of the region. This small house (13x13m) stands for a sequence of experiences condensed in a continuous space that gives a sense of protection and, at the same time, of being projected into the landscape. photos : Pino Musi House in Carabbia - Building Information HOUSE in CARABBIA – Ticino – Switzerland Buyer: Family BOTTA Realization: 2005-07 Architects: DAVIDE MACULLO - Lugano - Switzerland Collaborators: LAURA PEROLINI - Como - Italy MICHELE ALBERIO - Como - Italy Engineer: IDEAL INGEGNO SA - Vezia - Switzerland Physical engineer: FRANCO SEMINI - Lugano - Switzerland Project manager: DL Direzione Lavori - Lugano - Switzerland Photographer: PINO MUSI - Milano - Italy Ticino house information from Davide Macullo 23 Oct 2007 Ticino house by Davide Macullo photo : Enrico Cano Ticino house by Davide Macullo - Comano House: photo : Enrico Cano
