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.
