CAPOLAGO APARTMENTS
Capolago (Mendrisio), Canton Ticino, Switzerland
Four apartments on four floors, created from the renovation of a preexisting building. In order to go ahead with the renovations the roof had to be removed and work had to start from the upper extremities of the building, then gradually moving downwards to the lower floors.
A considerable complication was the fact that all the surrounding buildings are fixed together.
Given the particularity of the structure as well as the logistical conditions it was not possible to do anything prefabricated, so all of the pieces had to be custom-made.
