Mino Caggiula Architects

Based in Lugano, the firm consists of a closeknit group of architects of different backgrounds and t It develops through the creation of many models.
(5)

The firm Mino Caggiula Architects comes from a unique career developed over the last two decades which has always been divided among planning, design, construction, studies and theoretical research. Mino Caggiula Architects’ team has realized many projects at different scales, from design objects to city plans. Simplicity, elegance, attention to sustainability of the projects as well as the enviro

nment and the territory are the main features that the architect Mino Caggiula demands from each project. Having previous experience as a bricklayer, the architect never starts from a sketch: trying not to split the inspirational phase from the technical one, he always establishes his creative process starting from the practice of building relative to the terrain. The synergy of man’swork and the nature of a place is the quintessence of creativity. The concept, as design guideline, begins with the manual modeling of a territory. Its tangible form matures in the final design, obtained by paying attention to the smallest details. Finally, through the management of the site and meeting deadlines and costs, it is transformed into the Art we call Architecture. The experience gained over the years has been enriched by collaborations with important architects and theorists such as Kenneth Frampton, Steven Holl and Elia Zenghelis, allowing the architect to enter into the international scene. This knowledge base is crucial in the creative process, bridging the distance that often arises between theory and built Architecture.

Villa Castagnola's design philosophy focuses on fulfilling the owner's vision for an eventual, yet unknown, final client. The project aims to maximise real estate potential while highlighting the site's unique qualities. This approach, termed "the immense value of the obvious," seeks to enhance positive aspects and minimise negatives in a straightforward yet impactful manner.

The architectural form emerges from the interplay of light, the valley and lake views, and the site's steep terrain. The building integrates with its environment, shaping its spaces and orientation to maximise panoramic views. The layout ensures the entrance is at the most practical point, initiating a circular flow within that culminates in a framed view of the landscape.

This internal motion is mirrored externally by a light cut on the sloping roof. Interior spaces are carefully composed to reflect both practical living needs and the external environment, creating a series of spatial experiences akin to photographic snapshots of life.

The Mirador Residence, located in the heart of Lugano, is a multifamily residence that seamlessly blends with its surroundings. This is evident in the abundant greenery that envelops the building, harmoniously merging it with the hilly promontory and its lush vegetation.

The residence is also integrated with a historic villa, part of Lugano's architectural heritage, situated directly above and overlooking the Molino Nuovo district at the edge of the woods. The project aims to maximise the lake view from the villa, creating a tranquil visual experience.

The project comprises 8 levels with a total of 44 apartments. The design features a hanging garden, developed as a series of green terraces leading to views of the lake and varying sun angles, creating a roof garden that serves as a striking "fifth façade". The "Mirador", a vertical observation deck, offers panoramic views of the lake and acts as both the residence's landmark and main pedestrian entrance.

The high-quality interior design integrates with the outdoor spaces, highlighted by a contemporary reinterpretation of the pergola that enhances the view from inside to outside.

Viaducts are engineering structures with multiple spans, including both arched and trussed designs, allowing roads or railways to cross obstacles.
The ancient Romans, with their creativity and technical skill, were the first to use the arch in construction, creating aqueducts as the earliest viaducts still admired today. Their designs met the client’s need for structures with classic appeal.

Hence the relationship between the client’s requests and the location, which gives rise to the meta-design concept that takes up the assumption and the particular proximity to the route of the viaduct of the Funicular of S. Salvatore.
The archetypal element of the arch, historically used in the construction of the viaducts, is thus reinterpreted in a contemporary key in the structure and formal aspect of the architectural intervention.

The project elegantly traces the land like a line, bringing identity to an undefined transit area. Enhancing the urban fabric, it creates a seamless boundary between the residential north and the craft production south. The architectural integration with the terrain forms a harmonious relationship between empty and built spaces, ensuring excellent cohesion with the surrounding urban context.

Emphasizing green spaces, the design meticulously incorporates abundant greenery as a core element. A large parkland and recreational area at the forefront mitigates the new construction's visual impact, blending it seamlessly with the environment and reducing the craft production area's visibility.

The uneven, partly steep land contours shape the building, integrating it with the territorial and environmental context. The flexible, dynamic design forms a softly contoured volume, balancing private and shared spaces functionally and architecturally.

Technical solutions within the geometry shield residences from highway noise while optimizing views, creating a well-integrated housing complex that addresses and resolves urban challenges.

Unlike our usual projects, we took over the Waves Residence at a later stage. We stepped in during the excavation phase and were faced with existing project constraints in terms of volume and structure. This challenge led us to focus on the seamless integration of technology, aesthetics and context.

The site is located in an urban area characterised by highly congested access routes that create sources of sound waves. Our solution? A design that uses the principle of waves reflecting waves to create shapes and surfaces that attenuate sound.

For efficiency, each floor maintains a compact internal volume, while the terraces create a refined movement. The dynamic facades, clad in anodised corrugated aluminium, and the carefully designed windows not only reflect sound waves but also interact with the landscape, creating a play of iridescent colours.

The Eolica Residence project comprises four buildings designed as orthogonal volumes, strategically placed to create an attractive and dynamic green space. When viewed from above, the layout resembles wind turbines, adding a unique aesthetic to the district.

The buildings are characterized by the centripetal “wind rotation” of the apartments around the central vertical circulation, thus opening the views from the living rooms towards perspectives that are characterized and amplified by the curvature of the living room terraces. So, the architectural composition ensures open views and sunlight, allowing the different angles of the sun reflecting on the structure throughout the day provide a harmonious contrast between materials, shapes, and shadows.

The project is based on the principle of incorporating new technologies for energy supply. This architectural endeavor aims not only to create a visually stunning structure but also to prioritize energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Leche is a project that embodies five core elements: Living, Ecology, Care, History, and Entertainment. Its inception aimed to advance sustainability in architectural design within the landscape while addressing human needs and promoting Bellinzona's scenic beauty.

Mondrian's 1918 painting "Composition with Gray and Light Brown" inspired the architectural design of the towers in Leche Park. The painting's focus on structure was integrated into the design, giving the towers their distinctive and unique appearance.
In addition to the architectural details influenced by Piet Mondrian's painting proportions, the overall planimetric structure of the Leche Park Residence is inspired by another painting, Claude Monet's Water Lilies.

By analysing the microscopic structure of waterlily petals, we observe their internal support system, which withstands external forces. This interpretation is applied to various levels of the architecture for the Leche Park Residence. The buildings rise towards the sky, rotating 45 degrees to provide the best panoramic view of the landscape. This architectural feature allows for an uninterrupted perspective, free from neighbouring towers.

Nestled in the heart of Upper Ticino, Biasca is a picturesque town among the mountains at the foot of Pizzo Magno. This location, with its deep, wide valley, forms the backdrop for the project: Clouds.
"Clouds" is more than just an architectural endeavour; it is a tribute to the life, tradition, and culture of Biasca. The design draws inspiration from the local community and the unique landscape, with vine cultivation playing a central role. Here, the rhythm of life is dictated by the land, the sun, and the rain, reflecting a profound connection to nature.

The project's narrative is enriched by the wisdom passed down through generations of farmers. The local saying “When Pizzo Magno puts on its hat, let go of your sickle and grab your umbrella”, highlights the empirical weather forecasting that has been a part of daily life for centuries. The “hat” refers to the clouds that cover Pizzo Magno, signalling an impending downpour.
Incorporating this heritage, Clouds embodies a metaphorical dialogue reminiscent of René Magritte's surrealistic painting, "The Infinite Recognition". This piece, with its iconic image of two men suspended in the clouds, inspires our architectural vision. Our project translates this ethereal conversation into a tangible experience, merging the human dimension with the natural environment.

The design of Clouds integrates spacious terraces and strategic building orientation to create a harmonious play of light and shadow. This dualism between man and nature is a cornerstone of our approach, fostering a seamless blend of tradition and modernity.

Villa Prêt-à-Habiter 2 is situated on Monte Brè in the prestigious Brè-Adelsago district, renowned for its greenery and breathtaking views over the Gulf of Lugano.
The beauty of the location is mirrored within the villa, establishing a seamless connection between the architecture and its environment.

The aim of Villa Prêt-à-Habiter 2 is to create a human-scaled architecture. It is the second of two detached homes designed together but positioned in separate locations. This project begins with a hypothetical blank canvas, drawing inspiration from its surroundings and fostering a synergy with its inhabitants.

The exterior architecture is defined by a precise rhythm of proportion and measurement, with corten steel cladding the facades and forming a composition of geometric modules. The transparency of the glass on the main facade ensures complete visual permeability and a continuous link with the landscape.

Blade is a visionary project where architectural intervention harmonises with the landscape, seamlessly blending precise material choices with the site's natural beauty.

Located in Canobbio, Switzerland, this high-end residential complex draws inspiration from the world of art, specifically the immersive experience of Richard Serra’s sculptures. The American artist's metal sheets interact with space and viewers, transforming their perception of the environment.

Our challenge was to translate this artistic concept into a tangible structure. Positioned on steep terrain between vegetation and the Lake Lugano, the design leaves an intentional, thoughtful mark on the landscape, creating a harmonious connection with the surroundings.

The complex consists of two distinct blocks of duplex residences, partially embedded into the slope for seamless integration. This two-level arrangement creates expansive terraces, resembling private roof gardens.

The hallmark of Blade lies in these steel blades, which transition from landscape to architecture and interior design. Greenery integrates and complements, acting as both a separator and connector. Large windows enhance the building's dialogue with nature, reflecting and amplifying the surroundings, offering a fresh perspective.

The Prêt-à-Habiter Villa, nestled in the enchanting Collina D’Oro, Montagnola - one of Lugano's most prestigious areas. This stunning region is famed for its lush vegetation, serene waters, and charming private villas.

Seamlessly integrated with nature, Prêt-à-Habiter 1 boasts expansive windows that flood the space with natural light. The exquisite pool not only enhances the villa's aesthetic but also creates a connection with the nearby Lake Lugano. Here, greenery, water, and architecture blend into a harmonious “unicum”.

To ensure privacy, the upper level of the south-facing exterior wall is windowless and doubles as a supportive beam for the ground floor, eliminating the need for columns. This design choice ensures a clean and unobstructed look while preserving structural integrity.

A school that looks to the future of the city, offering state-of-the-art infrastructure and endless opportunities for education, teaching, and socializing.

The building is perfectly oriented north-south to maximize sunlight and features a large central triple-height volume. Around this space are developed sharing and meeting areas, all designed according to the principle of modularity to adapt to changing needs. The structure uses environmentally friendly structural timber partitions, creating flexible and welcoming classrooms that guarantee thermal and acoustic comfort. The two ends of the building accommodate access and teaching functions on covered outdoor terraces, integrating seamlessly with the surrounding environment.

Indoor and outdoor spaces promote learning both inside and outside the school, stimulating a real connection with the city. The objective? To open the complex for diverse use, with multigenerational spaces animated by different people and activities, contributing to the students' growth.

A hybrid, open, and permeable complex where light, air, and greenery offer infinite possibilities of use. A place on a human scale, dedicated to collective well-being and learning.

This is the project for I.T.I.S Leonardo Da Vinci, Parma.

The Libellula Residence is located in Muzzano, in a hilly area with a picturesque landscape, characterised by the Bay of Agno, the Bay of Lugano and Lake Muzzano, a rare glacial lake, marked by the characteristic presence of dragonflies.

The design of the building precisely imitates a dragonfly resting on the ground, blending harmoniously with the natural curves of the landscape. The circulation volume represents the body, while the slightly irregularly unfolding dwellings recall the beating of the insect's wings.

The residence is slightly inclined to offer a panoramic view of the bays and the lake, with apartments designed to provide openings to the panorama at every point. The architecture harmonises with the environment through transparency, natural materials for the façades and green areas on the exterior.

The Nizza Paradise Residence project was born from a detailed analysis of the site, considering land contours, axes, views, natural context and movement flows. This analysis inspired a similarity between the contours of the land and the sinuous silhouette. Architecturally, this image is translated into a volume shaded upwards by terraces, resulting in a harmony with the surrounding context: the site itself draws the architecture.

The building is oriented towards three focal points: the lake, the city and the forest, enhancing the landscape perspectives and the flow of light and people. Spaces flow from public to private, integrating everyday life with the surrounding nature. Distinctive elements such as the main entrance, the green wall and the natural spa reinforce the building's identity. Natural materials and light effects emphasise the link between design and nature at different scales, creating a harmony between landscape, architecture and interior design.

The Atelier Alice Trepp, located in the picturesque village of Origlio, is the studio of the Ecuadorian sculptor Alice Trepp. This atelier is situated on a natural hillside with views of pastures, Monte Tamaro, and a lake that provides a refreshing atmosphere. The location is reminiscent of Greek theatres, built on natural slopes with spectacular views, and this concept inspires the project.

The building develops by following the contour lines of the terrain, raising them like leaves from the ground, giving the impression of being an integral part of the landscape. The fusion with the environment is reinforced by the constant presence of greenery, making the atelier resemble an open green expanse.

It evokes a natural cave or an open-air cenote, where light and greenery are reflected in a water mirror, creating plays of light, vibrations, and sounds.

The design of the Miravalle Residence in Massagno, Switzerland, is based on the panoramic beauty of the site, overlooking the valley and Lake Lugano. The architecture is inspired by the analysis of the terrain and its views, which follow one direction towards the mountains and one towards the lake to the south.

The Residence is designed with a fragmented structure that adapts to the terrain and offers different panoramic views. The architectural axes are the basis of the design, facing both the mountains and the lake through volumetric fragmentation.

The design is inspired by Escher's geometric tessellation, creating more dynamic spaces, larger exterior surfaces and better exposure to light.
The modularity of the buildings allows the flexibility of the interiors to adapt to future changes.

Gen Alpha is a progressive architectural project that aims to integrate into an urban context, studying historical and future specificities through micro and macro aspects. The aim is to bring together different generations in the local economic and political fabric with a global and evolving vision.

The planivolumetric system provides solar lighting for all the living spaces. The division into two buildings allows the creation of a central plaza that unites existing and future flows, with the idea of a covered plaza by means of a "bridge" building that connects and accommodates open-air users in the heart of the composition.

The maximum flexibility of the interior spaces allows them to be adapted to future needs, both open spaces and terraces, both public and private. Existing and future flows become energy not only to guide people to the central square, but also to shape its architectural forms.

Gen Alpha is a collective project of services that promote integration between individuals, respecting privacy and the different needs of all generations, present and future.

The Onyx Residence has been designed and conceived with respect for the surrounding context and neighbourhood.
The project takes shape from the potential of the site and its buildability index, which define its form by maximising the volume and the built up area.

The building consists of four floors above ground, for a total of 9 apartments, with the same floor plan model applied to all floors of the building, allowing flexibility in the internal partitioning while taking into account costs.

The façade design adds dynamism to the architecture through a play of solids and voids created by various openings. The covering recalls the onyx stone: a black shade that emits glares and nuances.

Located in Montagnola, on the Collina d'Oro, Nest offers breathtaking views of Lake Lugano. The project consists of several residential units and a single-family villa, all designed in an architectural style that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings.

A distinctive feature of the complex is its simple volumes, with a convex roof at each end extending like wings to the sky. The multi-family residence has spacious terraces with lush greenery at every level, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Vertical supports intertwined with climbing plants provide shade and privacy on the shorter sides of the building.

The transparency of the windows in both the residence and the villa enhances the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. To meet energy needs, a solar panel system is integrated into the perimeter of the roof, contributing to an aesthetically pleasing geometric design.

The new residential building on Via Besso in Lugano represents a contemporary reinterpretation of urban life through a lively system that combines private spaces with a mix of communal functions designed to meet the comfort and evolving needs of the inhabitants.
Situated near a major urban crossroads, the project involves a site integrated into the consolidated urban fabric and characterized by precise regulatory constraints.

The volume is modelled to follow the indentations and alignments imposed by the land-use plan, and stands out as a sculptural, geometric parallelepiped, modelled according to the slope of the street.
A scansion of triangular section columns extends outwards, modulating the main façade according to a variable grid that sometimes compresses and sometimes expands, accelerating the rhythm and projecting the elements outwards like a musical score with its own harmony.

All the spaces are characterised by the massive presence of full-height windows, which reinforce the domestic boundaries and create an intense relationship between the interior living spaces and the urban context.

The project for the new building of the Raiffeisen Bank Colline del Ceresio proposes different types of internal and external facades, conceptually reminiscent of a geode, a cavity in an igneous rock covered with crystals. The starting point is an analysis of the territorial context in order to insert the new building as a point of connection between the different realities and identities of the urban spaces of Savosa.

The design includes solid and terraced elements, a public square, and a circular courtyard linking private and public areas, with natural light effects altering the facade and space perception.

The design of Cascina Merlata is a tribute to the typical Milanese 'ringhiera' house, echoing its iconic structure. An inner courtyard with galleries becomes the centre of daily life, while open spaces on four sides create different spatial experiences. The flows converge in a central public space that links elements such as a park, a square and a playground, while the volumes develop in an ascending manner, culminating in a tower that becomes an emblem of urbanity.

The facades recall the style of the railing house, with a more closed appearance on the urban side and more open on the park side, guaranteeing privacy and luminosity. The interiors follow the dualism between private and public, with bedrooms on the closed side and living rooms on the open side.
The residential units are modular, offering 6 types of apartments that can be combined. The elevated inner courtyard becomes a meeting place with the public green space, merging with the surrounding park and promoting community life.

Cascina Merlata combines the tradition of railing houses with contemporary comfort, offering different housing solutions adaptable to market needs.

The Paguro Residence project was born out of a comparison with a building from the early 1900s, which inspired an architectural approach based on the formal representation of evolution through time rather than imitation of the past structure: an addition that blends seamlessly into a historic structure creating a cohesive and innovative whole.

The architectural intervention, inspired by the metaphor of the hermit crab ("paguro" in Italian), whose natural growth necessitates it to seek new shells, provides the building with a fresh shell.

This ongoing interaction between old and new is also reflected in the building systems and façade materials.

L CONVIVIO - 4° edizione @foodies_challenge TEAM 06 @heinzbecklapergola @minocaggiulaarchitects Apprendere, arricchirsi del sapere degli altri, conoscere i processi mentali ma anche i passaggi, le tecniche e le relazioni che associano un gesto ad un altro. Il Costruire ed il Cucinare sono pratiche del genere umano, sono l’azione di soddisfare un bisogno e il desiderio di farlo sempre meglio. Quest’aspirazione ha fatto costruire edifici straordinari e nutrito generazioni con piatti indimenticabili. "Agorà" è il cortometraggio in gara alla 4° edizione di Foodies' Challenge, prodotto da @santiesanti Scopri il video e vota il TEAM 06 cliccando al link 🔗https://foodieschallenge.eu/06-team-2022/

Miravalle Residence construction site.

Miravalle Residence construction site. A place exposed to a wide and suggestive view of the valley and the lake of Lugano city. For Miravalle Residence the territorial analysis and its relative panoramic views become the theme of the project, defining its architecture. 🔗https://www.minocaggiula.ch/en/projects/miravalle/

Miravalle Residence

The shape fragmentation of Miravalle Residence allows living more outdoor moments. The outside surface and, therefore, the greater view and light exposure offer incredible various perspectives and territorial views. 🔗https://www.minocaggiula.ch/en/projects/miravalle/
