Adjacent to the new campus of the Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI) on Via La Santa in Lugano, the idea was conceived to develop a temporary residential building designed to accommodate approximately 80 students. The project envisions apartments dedicated to students and young professionals, both Swiss and international, who wish to complete their studies or pursue professional opportunities in Ticino and Switzerland.
Our team, together with our Swiss partner, was responsible for the preliminary and detailed design, as well as for managing the administrative process with the local Swiss authorities. The student residence extends across five floors, from the second to the sixth, while part of the basement and the first floor host sports and leisure facilities for students, including a reading room, study areas, and a fitness center.
In line with Swiss standards, and following an in-depth study of the student housing context, we designed the residence with single rooms, each equipped with a private bathroom and a kitchenette. Most of the rooms open onto balconies or verandas, extending the living space and enhancing comfort.
