Above Lake Lugano: A New Build 5.5 Bedroom Residence With 180° Views & Private Jacuzzi

A1 – ORION SELENE

The Terrace Residence is the family-oriented 5.5-room home within Residence Orion, offering approximately 195 m² of interior space and two panoramic terraces overlooking Lake Lugano, the valley and the surrounding mountains.

The residence combines the generous proportions and privacy of a villa with the comfort and security of a limited collection of only four homes. Expansive glazing brings natural light deep into the living areas and creates a continuous relationship between the interior, the terraces and the extraordinary 180-degree panorama.

A private lake-view jacuzzi, a sophisticated open-plan living environment, two garage spaces and a carefully considered luxury specification make Selene suitable both as a principal family residence and as a discreet Swiss base for an internationally mobile owner.

Premium Interior Specification — Included

Residence A1 is planned to be delivered with a fully finished luxury interior specification conceived as an integral part of the architecture rather than as a conventional developer fit-out.
The intended premium standard includes:
- A bespoke Italian kitchen by Dada, or an equivalent top-tier Italian manufacturer
- Integrated high-end appliances and a temperature-controlled wine-cellar refrigerator
- An integrated wood or bioethanol fireplace forming the focal point of the living area
- Full-height, flush-to-wall Infinity doors with concealed frames
- Fine parquet flooring and carefully selected 100% Made in Italy finishes
- Spa-inspired bathrooms completed to the same premium interior standard
- Integrated home automation for lighting, climate and security
- A private jacuzzi positioned on the terrace with panoramic lake views
- A private cellar and private laundry
- Two protected garage spaces

Selected interior finishes may be personalised during the construction phase, subject to the project timetable, technical feasibility and the agreed budget.

Furniture, artworks and decorative objects shown in the architectural visualisations are not included unless expressly identified in the final contractual specification.
