Arcégno, Losone, Ticino, 2003. New residential complex:
The project envisaged the building of four housing blocks consisting of five flats each. The dwellings overlook the square, the common space of the new neighbourhood, which opens up towards the scenic backdrop of the forest.
The project is named after a fountain from which spring water flows continuously and regularly. The water from the fountain flows into an open channel that marks the boundary between the square and the dwellings, between public and private, and ends in a stream.
Each block is designed on three levels, and the flat roof, covered with extensive greenery, further softens the visual impact in the landscape by blending in with the site’s lush vegetation. The project has not been realised.
