In the historical centre of Gallarate, we offer for sale an exlusive, superb penthouse designed by the world-famous architect Alvaro Siza, whose style is often called 'poetic modernism' for his ability to introduce creative and emotional elements in a decidedly modern and original approach to projects. The 330-square-metre penthouse, with a 325-square-metre terrace, is presented in a rustic state and lends itself to being customised, according to personal taste and needs, by taking advantage of top-quality specifications. The large windows, with a minimalist aluminium frame and extra-clear triple-glazing, not only diffuse splendid light but also lighten the structure, unifying interior and exterior in a single environment. The marvellous travertine terrace houses a scenic swimming pool and offers the possibility of enjoying convivial moments with friends and family. Exclusive lift access directly into the house, with double security system, lift code and armoured door. The well-kept residential context is characterised by clean and elegant essential lines and also guarantees a secondary access directly into the city centre. A cellar and a large double garage complete the property. The project has been published on the main sector websites and magazines and is featured in the latest monograph by Alvaro Siza in the Spanish world reference magazine "El Croquis". According to Domus magazine, it is among the top ten best architectural projects of 2020 and has been selected by the European Commission as a candidate for the "Mies van der Rohe 2022" award for contemporary architecture.
Gallarate is a town in the province of Varese and, with its 52,000 inhabitants, is the third most populous city in the Province. It rises in the lower Varese area, just 5 km from Malpensa airport, on a mainly flat area, interrupted in the northern part by the hills of Crenna and Ronchi and enjoys a mild climate.
Its strategic position, which links it to the centers of Varese and Milan, has allowed it over the time to transform itself into a tertiary and commercial center of growing importance, making it one of the most important hubs in the Province. Furthermore, the main road arteries easily connect Gallarate to Lake Maggiore; in just two hours by car it is possible to reach tourist resorts, both mountain and seaside, such as Courmayeur and Santa Margherita Ligure; finally, the Pedemontana leads to Lake Como.
