The redevelopment of a former furniture factory presents an opportunity to create a condominium residential building that is environmentally sustainable in terms of energy consumption.

Description

Located close to the town centre of Cantù, the complex has a volume of approximately 10,000 cubic meters and extends over a length of more than 70 meters. The considerable length of the building required a unique solution to enhance the project, resulting in a cycle path that winds through the building, providing access to all levels and offering residents and visitors a natural environment with views of the mountains. Constructed using a combination of steel, glass and reinforced concrete, the building houses approximately 24 apartments, which can be configured to meet different needs, each with a terrace and access to the “green hill” on the roof.

The incorporation of today’s most advanced plant and thermal insulation technologies ensures the building’s environmental sustainability, with the residential units being classified as energy class A or better. The ground floor, with underground access from the main entrance, houses garages connected to the upper floors via a staircase and two lifts located at the ends of the building.

The building entrance, styled as a luxury entrance hall, is situated on the first floor, which serves as the ground-level pedestrian access from the upper street, and connects various levels via a spiral staircase. An elegant apartment on the east front of the first floor features an infinity pool and wellness area, offering privacy and panoramic views of the Monte Rosa group.

The top floor, accessible via a private elevator, features a full-height penthouse with sweeping views stretching from the Lake Como area to Monte Rosa and beyond, and in good weather as far as the Ligurian Alps. The high-quality finishes throughout the property give the apartments an elegant and refined style.
