“Pinwheel” - Pentagonal gem near lake Maggiore

Pinwheel represents an elegant, custom-built, pentagonal dwelling on the picturesque shores of Lake Maggiore. This single-family residence, developed on one level with basement, embodies a design that harmoniously blends geometric forms with its surroundings. Its outer corners are gently rounded, accentuating the fluidity of the pentagonal lines and integrating synergetically with the surrounding nature. The generous vertical glazed openings and 'pinwheel panels', from which it takes its name, not only offer a breathtaking panoramic view outwards, but also emphasise the building's distinctive shapes. Inside, a striking circular skylight illuminates the rooms, while a staircase leads to the basement below. The living room, dining room and kitchen share an open space, while two bedrooms and two bathrooms are discreetly positioned behind partially transparent 'capsules' at the rear. The basement houses a technical room, a storage room and a large area that can be adapted for different purposes, such as an audio-video room or a gymnasium with sauna. The façade, made of elegant white concrete panels, blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. Thanks to advanced building technologies, including wooden supporting structures and high-quality insulation materials, equiped with a modern heat pump, the residence offers high energy efficiency all year round. Indoor comfort is ensured by underfloor heating and controlled ventilation. In addition, a project is planned to install an additional carport with integrated photovoltaic panels as a further step towards energy self-sufficiency. The strategic location, a short distance from Luino and Lugano, makes Pinwheel a sought-after choice both as a main residence and as a place to spend holidays. The construction of this extraordinary residence was completed in 2021 by the famous architect , Jacopo Mascheroni, and is now ready to welcome those who appreciate the uniqueness and avant-garde of this extraordinary example of contemporary architecture.
