Casa della Fontana | TI
Embedded on the hillside of Vira, within a quiet and green surrounding, this special house can be reached easily by a less used road. Gray concrete is hiding as a simple cover, like an oyster, the rare pearl inside of this modern building. Spectacular view of lake and the mountains behind, from Locarno to the port of Ascona on the other lakeside, til Italy-the perfect presentation of a living dream. Inspired by nature´s spectacle a fantastic atmosphere inside has been created by using modern and exclusive materials and furniture, added up with arts, books and sculptures. A rare pearl….
There are retreat zones at all levels of the house, which display stylish design and also have cosy athmosphere. At the lowest level you even find a elegant wall fountain, which is the signature piece for the house and its name. A wooden staircase, opening up all levels, seems to be floating, and is accompanied by a band of ceiling high windows, creating a light and wide impression.
