In the heart of Locarno's historic center, within a building from the early 20th century that was renovated in 2018, a unique opportunity arises: to unite two overlapping apartments and transform them into a single duplex of approximately 210 m², distributed over two levels.

The project allows for the imagination of a spacious and character-rich home, where the spaces of the first floor and those of the upper floor are internally connected through a private staircase. In the context of creating the duplex, one room on each floor could be destined for the creation of the internal staircase, directly connecting the two levels and transforming them into a single home.

On the lower floor, the current apartment of approximately 140 m² is characterized by generous spaces, two living rooms, and three bedrooms. The parquet floors confer an elegant and welcoming atmosphere to the spaces, while the tiles complete the service areas.

The highlight of this level is the large internal terrace, a private and quiet space, ideal for outdoor meals, moments of relaxation, or to enjoy a quiet corner in the heart of the city. An additional balcony overlooks the characteristic historic center.

On the upper floor, the current unit of approximately 70 m², today used as a B&B, offers additional spaces that, in the context of the duplex, can become an integral part of the house. The spaces, well-distributed and characterized by parquet and tiles, maintain the charm of the historic building and lend themselves to being reinterpreted according to the needs of the future owners.

The possibility of internally connecting the two levels allows for the creation of a spacious, original, and hardly replicable housing solution, with the generosity of a large house and the charm of living in the heart of the Old Town.
