Apartment for sale in Bissone, Switzerland

RESIDENCE LA FORESTA - HIGH-STANDING APARTMENTS Residence La Foresta is located in Bissone, at the top of Via San Nicolao, in a privileged position which offers an exceptional view of Lake Lugano. A key feature of the project is its integration into the surrounding natural mountain environment: the building follows the natural slope of the land, with all the apartments set back from those below, and the roofs are used to create large terraces and roof gardens. The façades are characterized by a balanced contrast between the Travertino, with its natural striations which enhance the horizontality of the projecting floors, and the bronze-colored metal, which emphasizes the vertical elements in the form of strips, the windows and the large flower boxes which break up and modulate the façade, interspersing the rigor of the construction with the variety of the plantings. The residential complex is oriented along the east-west axis, allowing for a gentle morning illumination and a more intense illumination from lunchtime onwards. It consists of 10 residential units, two penthouse apartments on two levels with a 5.5-room layout, four apartments with a 4.5-room layout, two 3.5-room apartments and two 2.5-room apartments. It is arranged over five above-ground levels, of which the ground floor is used as a car park with 24 parking spaces and 10 private cellars and service rooms. The design strategy to ensure the best possible illumination for all the apartments with a single façade is simple and effective: the apartments are arranged on an L-shaped floor plan, allowing all the main rooms to have direct access to the generous terraces and to enjoy the view in front of them. The shape of the building is designed so that the juxtaposition of the various units can guarantee each one the privacy best suited to fully enjoying the outdoor spaces: the staggering of the apartments and the horizontal separation by large flower boxes prevent views from one apartment to another while maintaining the "green" identity of the complex. THE APARTMENTS All the apartments have an entrance to service areas such as a cloakroom and a guest bathroom. Continuing, you reach the large open-plan living area, with kitchen, TV area and dining area in sequence, until you come to the large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake, which open directly onto the terraces and gardens. The living areas are extremely convivial, designed specifically to accommodate as many people as possible, gathering them in front of a film, allowing them to enjoy the kitchen with a large peninsula or the best views during meals. The outdoor terraces are spacious and have the best possible exposure, ensuring, with their configuration, a high level of privacy both between adjacent apartments and between those above. The night hallway is reduced to the smallest possible size and equipped with fixed wardrobes in order to make the most of all the available space, while the bathrooms are always equipped with large modern showers, ample space for washbasins and complete sanitary fittings; in addition, larger spaces are equipped with a practical laundry area. The bedrooms have generous dimensions and sliding windows overlooking the terraces; they are sized to accommodate different types of furniture without losing functionality. The master bedrooms are real suites with a walk-in wardrobe and a private bathroom. The flooring in all the rooms and hallways is made of European oak laid in large planks, creating a sense of continuity and cohesion between all the spaces. The choice of neutral tones for the stoneware tiles and wall paints also favors the furnishings and echoes the colors of the external materials, ensuring a consistent style.


THE COMMON AREAS Another distinctive feature of the quality of the residential complex is the presence, on the first floor, of two rooms dedicated to the care and well-being of the residents. The owners and their guests can exercise and relax in the gym equipped with the latest equipment and then continue their wellness program in the spa, enjoying moments of relaxation in the Turkish bath, the sauna or a rejuvenating bath in the large whirlpool; all this without ever leaving the building. To maintain a consistent style throughout the complex, these two additional spaces also feature the same details and finishes as the apartments and their exteriors: the elegant and timeless veining of the Travertino and the bronze-colored metal parts are enhanced by minimal and modern lighting that makes the spaces attractive and at the same time comfortable.


THE PENTHOUSES APARTMENT 9 / 10 The two penthouse apartments, located on the third and fourth floors, are the icons of this building: arranged in a mirrored fashion, they enjoy the best view of the lake thanks to the quality of the outdoor spaces dedicated to them. The penthouses have large terraces on the third floor, where the latter are for the exclusive use of the family members as they are adjacent to the bedrooms, and on the fourth floor, where the representative terraces culminate in infinity pools that also form part of the outdoor seating area. The terraces on the fourth floor are also protected by several metres of cantilevered roofing, to ensure that they can be used even during the less sunny months. In continuity with the living area, there is also an outdoor cooking area located at a higher level than the lounge. The penthouses are accessed directly from the fourth and last floor, entering, after passing the spacious cloakroom with a service bathroom, the large open-plan living area from which the view of the terrace and the lake in front can be admired. From the living area, you can go down by stairs or lift to the third floor and then to the more private part of the house: here you will find all the service areas such as the three bathrooms, two of which are for the exclusive use of the two double bedrooms, with their respective walk-in wardrobes, a laundry area, a double bedroom and a study. All the bedrooms overlook the second large terrace, which also has additional metres of garden.
