“Star Architect” Mario Botta

Renowned Architect Mario Botta builds with STEKO®

The modern residential buildings are located in a scenically interesting area above the Lago Maggiore. They were erected in 2002.

The worldwide renowned star architect Mario Botta, Lugano in Switzerland was responsible for the design and architecture. The wood construction system STEKO® is the carrier system, which remains visible in the interior and appears as modern wood construction there. The building skeleton has got a very good heat insulation value. The back-ventilated façade cladding consists of “Rheinzink”, a material of fine zinc, copper and titanium.

The committed woodworker Giacomazzi e Ruffini SA, Avengno erected the Steko buildings under the management of Ennio Maggetti, Minusio within a few days.
