The lived experience within the works of American artist Richard Serra was the inspiration for Blade Residence. The American artist’s sculptures constructed from sheets of metal establish multiple interactions with the space and those who pass through them, intervening as a physical and material presence on the very perception of their surroundings. The challenge was to translate this conceptual dimension of art into a high standing residential complex located in Canobbio, in the Canton of Ticino.

Who lives in a villa at the Blade Residence lives inside a work of art.

The architectural project, designed by Mino Caggiula Architects and promoted by Tognola Group as the general contractor and interior designer, combines poetry and technology to ensure the well-being of the residents and enhance the surrounding natural context.

THE PLAN Media House tells the story of the project with a two-part documentary film, featuring Mino Caggiula and Tognola Group respectively
