The synergy between the nature of a place and man’s hand is the quintessence
of creativity
Nice Paradise Residence is a perfect combination of art, luxury and
architecture.The realization of a trilogy of public, semi-public and private
spaces, the study of the land’s progress, the translation in architecture of
natural language: these are the foundations of this extraordinary project.
They have proved to be the winner of the first prize in a competition of ideas
for the redevelopment of the entire lot. The project, designed by Studio
Mino Caggiula Architects in Lugano, Switzerland, and promoted by Norbert
Candinas Nocasa AG, Chur, Switzerland, is currently in its finishing phase
of molding constructive lines to the soft lines of the slope of Mount San
Salvatore. A form pointing upwards and follows the contours of the ground,
while to soften the effect is a well-balanced composition of horizontal levels
that open up onto the beautiful surroundings.
From here you then face deep terraces and are free to explore all that the
cardinal points offer: the woods to the west, the Guidino Park to the east, the
blue expansion of Lake Lugano which fills the horizon when looking south.
Park, lake and city meet, therefore, through a pedestrian path on the ground
floor where multiple paths are conveyed within the new building and the
public, semi-public and private spaces meet in one big sphere. The impact of
something new that wants to conclude the project: the result is a telescope
that, nestled in the slope frames the landscape and welcomes a SPA for the
well-being of the tenants, outlining the visual path thus created.
