luxury contemporary apartments / penthouses for sale Ticino, Switzerland

In Lugano-Aldesago, rising above the southern slope of Monte Brè, Residenza White House looks out over the city and the surrounding mountains, opening onto a breathtaking view that embraces the full depth of Lake Lugano as far as beyond the Melide bridge, in one of the most beautiful and panoramic positions in the Lugano region. A project by Studio Lo Riso completed in 2012, the residence comprises only four apartments together with an independent villa, on a domestic and private scale. The white facade, clad in exposed brick of cement and Carrara marble dust, defines its character; a large central body, in the shape of an eye, gathers the apartments, while a central spiral staircase and a glass panoramic lift emphasise its verticality. Within this striking and elegant setting, we offer for sale a refined duplex penthouse occupying the highest part of the residence. Thanks to the building's design, which follows the slope of the terrain, it is reached directly at entrance level while sitting at the top of the residential body. Facing south, it receives light from morning to evening and opens, across 101 m² of terraces, onto an open 180-degree view. Its 318 m² of living space are arranged over two levels, with generous proportions and high-quality finishes: marble floors, bathrooms in marble and natural stone, a designer kitchen with wine cellar, bespoke wardrobes and underfloor heating. The living floor is conceived as a large open space facing the panorama: the living area and open kitchen extend onto the panoramic terrace, in a setting of great brightness. A guest bathroom and a pantry complete the level. The sleeping floor, on the lower level, is dedicated to quiet, with a master suite with walk-in wardrobe and bathroom and two further bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and access to the covered terrace. A laundry and hallways with fitted wardrobes complete the spaces. To the penthouse are added a dependance of 37.5 m² with independent entrance, suited to guests, a studio or staff, and two covered outdoor parking spaces. Here the lake accompanies every hour of the day and sets the measure of a way of living that, even in Lugano, has few equals. Primary residence only.

In Gentilino, in Collina d’Oro, the penthouse of the new Golden Hill Residence occupies the top floor of a complex consisting of just five residential units. It offers approximately 203 m² of gross floor area, in a green and private setting, in the immediate vicinity of the TASIS school—The American School in Switzerland. Terraces and Outdoor Living The spacious and bright living area opens onto the main terrace, which is covered and faces south/southwest. The approximately 190 m² of terraces extend the home’s living spaces outward, offering areas for dining, conversation, and relaxation for most of the year. The attention to detail in the design is evident in the provisions for a Jacuzzi and dramatic lighting, the outdoor water features, and the structural reinforcements for large planters and mature vegetation of significant size. Spaces and Finishes The Poliform kitchen features a design with meticulous attention to materials and details, including a countertop and backsplash in light quartzite, a wine cooler, and a backlit display cabinet. The sleeping area includes three bedrooms: a master bedroom with a private bathroom and two additional bedrooms, both with access to the side terrace. The property is rounded out by additional amenities, including a guest bathroom and a private laundry room. High-quality natural wood parquet flooring adorns the main living areas. In the bathrooms, travertine-effect porcelain stoneware covers the floors and walls, complementing the brushed black chrome fixtures, ash wood furnishings, and custom-made details. A custom lighting design enhances the interiors and terraces. Comfort and technology Amenities include: Underfloor heating and cooling, supplemented in the summer months by air conditioning via fan coil units.
