Casa Vernate, a renovated home by Enrico Sassi Architetto, sits on a wooded slope above the Agno-Porto Ceresio branch of Lake Lugano in Vernate, Switzerland. Designed in 1972 by Unterlöhner + Waibel of Ulm, the single-family house occupies a narrow terrace with long views toward the water and surrounding hills. The original structure combines exposed brick walls with a load-bearing timber system insulated and clad in wood. An asymmetrical gable roof shapes the interior of the sleeping wing, where sloped ceilings follow the roofline.
