Posted Mon Oct 05 14:31:00 UTC 2009

We at Wetag Consulting Immobiliare, the Southern Switzerland-based luxury real estate firm that concentrates on luxurious and architecturally significant estates and residences and exclusive affiliate of Christies Great Estates, are pleased to announce to represent the sale of “Villa Libeskind in Ticino”—a high-end architectural villa project in Locarno, overlooking Lago Maggiore and designed by highly acclaimed architect, Daniel Libeskind. Designed in deconstructive style, the villa’s exterior as well as interior has been drafted right down to the last detail by world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind. Villa Libeskind – strictly limited to 30 buildings world wide - is being exclusively offered turn-key through Wetag Consulting in collaboration with Berlin based proportion, the official distributor of Villa Libeskind.

Ticino, already well known for its world famous “Ticino school of architecture” with its great exponents like Mario Botta and Luigi Snozzi, features also two great examples of world renowned architect Richard Neutra, where Wetag Consulting has been involved in the sale of its Villa Bucerius. Daniel Libeskind who won the World Trade Center design competition and who also designed world famous buildings such as the Jewish Museum in Berlin, the Imperial War Museum in Manchester, the extension to the Denver art Museum and the Felix-Nussbaum House in Osnabrück, just to name a few, decided to design a single family residence which showcases Libeskinds typical design features and architectural style elements. So far, he only designed a weekend retreat in Connecticut for friends of him what makes this rare offering even more unique. The Villa’s asymmetrical, tapered silhouette evokes a crystal. Rejecting traditional rules of symmetry, it bears the distinctive signature of Libeskind. Villa offers an uninterrupted connection to nature through its wide glass expanses. The light-flooded rooms present themselves purely, yet the first impression is deceiving: Libeskind excels in uncompromising, modern design but simultaneously meets the requirements of everyday life.

Ticino, with its great history of architecture is now going to be more prolifically by this great piece of architecture designed by Daniel Libeskind what will definitely enrich the regions architectural landscape by far.
