Thomas Schlichting, 2022

Casa PEA Viganello is a seven-storey residential building with common areas and offices on the ground floor and apartments of various sizes on the upper floors. It is built adjacent to the neighbouring property so as to avoid wasted space in favour of a large communal garden, with green areas and leisure areas available to tenants: a space that promotes a sense of community within the building and the neighbourhood. The presence of offices on the ground floor also creates a continuous frontage along Via alla Roggia, giving an urban character to the building, which is located in a neighbourhood with strong links to the city centre. Great attention has been paid to sustainable construction and comfort, resulting in Minergie-P certification.
