Residenz 1890 · Via Luigi Canonica 9, Lugano

In the centre of Lugano, at Via Luigi Canonica 9, Residenza 1890 welcomes a penthouse of 255 m² located on the fourth and top floor of a historic building undergoing full renovation. Designed in 1910 by the architects Ziegler & Corsini, the building retains its character through the restoration of the facade and its distinctive elements, including stone cornices and wrought-iron balconies, enhanced by new architectural lighting.

The penthouse, the only apartment on the floor, is distinguished by spaces defined by the roof geometry, which become an integral part of the interior architecture. The roof windows open onto the roofs of the historic centre, creating a direct relationship with Lugano’s urban landscape.

The living area is conceived as a continuous space where kitchen, dining room and living room communicate through materials and contemporary details. Natural tones, textured surfaces, wooden elements and integrated lighting define the project’s language, while the herringbone oak flooring gives character to the penthouse spaces.

The internal layout provides three bedrooms, four bathrooms and three walk-in wardrobes, offering generous and functional spaces. The interior design pays particular attention to finishes and details. The bathrooms are characterised by stone cladding, wall-mounted brass-finish taps, indirect lighting and flush-level showers, while the walk-in wardrobes include bespoke solutions.

The apartment also includes a private cellar and two garage parking spaces, available separately and not included in the sale price.

A residential proposal that combines the architectural character of a historic building with contemporary interiors, large living areas and a location in the heart of Lugano.
