The residence is located in a green, quiet and
protected area. In order to preserve these values, the developers used an
integratedsystem of technology and devices, in order to minimize the environmental impact and reduce the energy consumption. It

the annual amount of energy costs is reduced by up to 80%, compared to traditional systems (oil).
The property is positioned on the slopes of Montagnola (Collina d’Oro), oriented south/west, more precisely of Arasio, an exclusive area and one of the most renowned ones of the whole southern Switzerland region. Being a purely residential and very green area, the neighborhood is ideal for families, and the neighbourhood is mostly composed by single-family houses and small buildings.
The advantage of this area, in addition to the incontaminated beauty of the vegetation and its tranquillity, is the proximity of presigious international schools, such as TASIS (The American School in Switzerland, 6–18 years) and the Franklin Univeristy (International University accredited by the Swiss Confederation and the United States), both just a few minutes away from the Optima Residence. That is why the neighbourhood is an international social context. Collina d’Oro, or Golden Hill, is a district that offers great facilities, mild taxation, security, recreation, education and a lot of sun, offering thefore a high quality of life.
Specically, the residence is located in a private street in the middle of a very sunny plateau facing a hidden green hillside near a beautiful playground for children, just a few minutes away from the main services and transportations.
