Villetta Duplex bifamiliare (2B) a Manno (Lugano-TI-CH)

The residence consists of two housing units (A and B), each with its own independent entrance located on the first floor, for a total of four duplex apartments of 5 1/2 quarters — two per unit. The first floor is at street level, aligned with the garages of the buildings across the road. The façades facing the street are mostly closed, with no openings or windows, thus ensuring privacy for the neighbors and providing them with an unobstructed view from their gardens. The ground floor is situated below street level and is completely surrounded by lawn, offering direct contact with green space. The two rectangle-shaped buildings share a central area dedicated to recreational activities. The architectural and urban vision behind the project is to create a simple, bright, and safe living environment. The architecture follows essential, clean lines with restrained geometries, aiming to preserve the surrounding landscape and ensure maximum integration with the natural and built context.

The apartment B2 is arranged over two levels and offers bright, well-designed spaces that ensure comfort and a high quality of living. The entrance features two canopies: one for the covered parking spaces — two assigned to each unit — and another for pedestrian access, giving the arrival area a more refined and sheltered appearance. The interiors make balanced use of grey tones, a distinctive feature of Residenza Grey, creating a cozy atmosphere while enhancing the perception of space. Large openings towards the outside strengthen the connection with the surrounding greenery, where architectural greys blend harmoniously with the natural landscape. The apartment includes three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom: one on the upper level, ideal also as a study or guest room, and two on the lower floor, including the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The upper floor hosts the living area, consisting of the living room, dining area and open kitchen, all facing south and opening onto a balcony that provides excellent natural light and views of the surrounding mountains. On the lower level, the remaining two bedrooms are complemented by a small lounge with direct access to a veranda leading to the outdoor green area, offering an additional relaxing space. The property also includes a private laundry room, a cellar, and the option of an additional hobby room, depending on availability.
