Ensemble Casa Durisch: Residential and Studio House by Giancarlo Durisch, 1972–74

Freedom in a triangleFew houses change our understanding of life and living. Giancarlo Durisch's residential house and studio in Riva San Vitale belong to this category. The entrance through a high stone wall reveals a cloister-like green area. Two buildings, both with a triangular floor plan. You enter and sense the freedom in this austerity. Space unfolds, relationships become visible, the gaze glides. The order carries. Architecturally, this work is free of any indecision, without the slightest compromise.Durisch is one of the most important and at the same time most underestimated minds in the environment of the Tessiner Tendenza. This movement has been bringing history and place back into design since the 1960s: the grown city, its buildings, and spaces became the starting point for new architecture. Durisch also consulted the fine arts in his task of creating spaces for people from abstract forms.For his five-member family and his employees, he built a place to live and work here. Today, this connection can be further thought out: two houses that enable independence and proximity. A place that can be programmed as a retreat and meeting point. The invitation is open: to give shape to one's own daily life, one's own personality.Here, in the heart of Riva San Vitale, right next to the parish church and the octagonal baptistery, the oldest fully preserved Christian building in Switzerland. Here, Durisch's radical geometry has neighbors with a long history.For sale: Ensemble Casa Durisch, Riva San VitaleGiancarlo Durisch's residential house and studio in Riva San Vitale, 1972–74, are for sale.
