House in Vira Gambarogno / Viola Valsesia

The house is located in Vira Gambarogno, on a steeply inclined hillside above the Lago Maggiore. There is a wide view on the Verzasca-Valley and the town of Locarno. The plot borders on the hillside on a quiet stream and a chestnut forest. Towards the valley, it opens up to the spectacular panorama. The clients asked for a house with living space on a single floor and a strong connection to the nature that surrounds it. The building sits in the lower part of the plot, in the middle of the garden. The volume bends along the curved shape of the hill.
