ticino flair, reimagined

At Hotel La Palma au Lac, loc­ated dir­ectly on the lake prom­en­ade in Lo­c­arno, medi­ter­ranean flair meets a calm, clean re­in­ter­pret­a­tion. Act­ing as the own­er­’s rep­res­ent­at­ive, we sup­por­ted the pro­ject from start to fin­ish, align­ing the owner fam­ily’s vis­ion with budget, fin­an­cing and plan­ning – from renov­a­tion through to final han­dover.

The guest rooms were stand­ard­ised and de­veloped in close col­lab­or­a­tion with the plan­ners, re­fined down to the very last de­tail. High-qual­ity be­spoke join­ery was an in­teg­ral part of the concept, real­ised by our part­ner Gast­ruum.

We re­main hands-on and in­volved – cre­at­ing new WOW mo­ments and shap­ing a strong, fu­ture-ori­ented po­s­i­tion­ing. Pro­jects like this are our play­ground.

the biggest challenge

What started as a CHF 12 million full renovation had to be re-engineered into a CHF 4.5 million refurbishment concept.

The challenge was clear:
optimise, don’t compromise – and keep the technical renewal firmly on board.

no project without hiccups

What initially appeared to be a single ceiling turned out to be a multi-layered surprise.

Existing ceiling structures had to be removed to make room for new service installations – renovation in its most honest form.
