A REAL PEARL OF THE COMO LAKE! UNIQUE AND EXTREMELY LUXURIOUS! Having left the car in the garage above the apartments, you leave the Regina Highway and descend towards the living units. The relationship between man and traffic changes instantly, leaving space for nature: your eyes fall upon and establish a new protagonist, the lake. When catching a first glimpse of the lake, you are still far from and higher than the water, and it is during the descent that a relationship is born between man, water, rock and greenery, which strongly characterises the location. The architectural quality guarantees that the building performs to a high level, resulting from both a careful selection of materials and research into the building technologies used in the project. The design of the building’s envelope and fixtures render its construction perfectly “contemporary” and in line with passive homes typical of sustainable architecture, with attention paid to energy consumption and reducing emissions. A building culture for contemporary homes, which combines sustainability, drastic reduction of energy costs and a perfect climatisation of the rooms. The intervention also takes care of the area in environmental terms, through the planning of green spaces, which are fundamental for the project to be a success. The planting of botanical species, starting with local varieties, is being studied, and using greenery to hide the service areas is foreseen, to leave the building as natural a backdrop as possible.
