Villa by the Lake

Sophisticated elegance.

400 square meters of pure charm and superlative materials.

An apartment on three levels and directly overlooking Lake Lugano, set within a luxury residential context. A high-quality project, commissioned by a renowned Seattle architecture firm, which required in-depth research into materials and coordination between the various technicians and artisans involved.

Simonetto takes the relationship to a higher level: it is not just a supplier, but becomes an interactive part of the team

Living

The living area cabinets in American Oak feature doors lined with burnished brass sheets.
Our technical department conceived a construction design in order to incorporate the adequate thermal insulation necessary to host not only the gas fireplace, but also the flat TV screen on top of it.
Pillars and drop ceiling panelled in Movingui wood stained in champagne colour.

Kitchen

A scene mastered by the large table in Canaletto Walnut: the charm of solid wood, 10 centimetres in section, embellished by the insertion of the burnished brass trim.
By leaving the kitchen with black Africa marble top and concrete finish island, one reaches the corridor, fully equipped with cabinetry made with rift cut Oak. Its doors with custom burnished brass handles.

Bedroom

The made to measure bed and headboard originates from the synergy between three materials: Palm wood, Movingui wood and suede. The walk-in closet also has a considerable stylistic complexity: the cabinets in rift cut Oak have uprights lined with etched and burnished brass plates. We also have inserted custom-made handles seamless with the doors metal frames. The whole environment fully lit with integrated linear LEDs.

Bathroom

The bathroom furniture is in Movingui wood, a material with a wavy grain that gives a particularly attractive look to its surface. Another stylish detail: the custom-made burnished brass handles. The custom pending lighting fixtures designed on the base of the Architect’s concept and engineered by our technical department.

Other ROOMS

A number of other rooms inside the property was the object of design from the Architects.
Among these, the playroom in bleached and pickled Oak and the guest bedroom in Movingui wood, in which a special sliding panel in polycarbonate was specially manufactured and installed in order to modulate the amount of natural lighting.

Activities

Each room of this charming and sophisticated apartment is the result of an in–depth study of every detail. Our technical office was involved in the engineering process of a number of topics, ranging from the thermal insulation of the fireplace to the construction design of the custom lamps in the main bathroom. The walk-in closet cabinets conceived with custom hinges, specially inserted as a whole into the metal frame of the doors.
