Tour de Suisse Rad AG in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland by SLIK Architekten

Monday, January 27th, 2020

Article source: SLIK Architekten

The new “Tour de Suisse Rad AG” building is being built in Kreuzlingen, right on the popular bike path around Lake Constance. The building combines production, office, warehouse, exhibition space and a café under one roof. A striking entrance facade in exposed concrete shows up in front of the square, where customers can take a short break and water, or pump up their bikes again. From there the building develops on two floors over 100m along the Seetalstrasse and the track. Large facade units divide the facade into a rhythmic sequence. Large-format openings in the open café and exhibition area provide insight and enable good lighting of the workplaces. The storage area is illuminated by translucent vertical stripes and shows that the claim here goes beyond a purely functional architecture.

“sue&til” – New City of Wood Housing in Winterthur, Switzerland by weberbrunner architekten ag

Monday, January 6th, 2020

Article source: weberbrunner architekten ag

Weberbrunner in collaboration with soppelsa architekten won the commissioned study “Housing development with commercial areas in Neuhegi, Winterthur” in November 2013. According to the tender, around 300 residential units, ground floor public-oriented commercial space, and an underground car park with around 200 parking spaces were to be built on two plots.

The meandering perimeter block figure creates an urban pocket park on Sulzer-Allee, defines an inner courtyard divided into three areas, and forms the final key element in the “hybrid cluster” masterplanning scheme.

House ROFR in Grimisuat, Switzerland by Ralph Germann architectes

Sunday, December 22nd, 2019

Article source: Ralph Germann architectes

Ralph Germann’s design for this house is driven by the building’s natural surroundings, environment-conscious technology, and a simple and timeless aesthetic.

Built on a property on the heights of Sion, the 36-metre-long and 6.5-metre-wide building follows the lines of the hill like a wall in an orchard. A wall that protects and stabilizes the slope was the vision of Ralph Germann for this house. The grey colour of the facade supports the idea of a protective rock.

Since Valais is a seismic zone, the structure of the building is concrete.

FH Muttenz in Switzerland by Studio Vulkan Landschaftsarchitektur GmbH

Friday, December 6th, 2019

Article source: Studio Vulkan Landschaftsarchitektur GmbH

The new park facilitates the urbanistic integration of the university building, a freestanding object in a heterogeneous urban context. As envisioned in the master plan, the park acts as the entry foyer of the Polyfeld district and is a space of major relevance to the neighbourhood. At the same time, it represents the university’s main gathering area. Within this dual role, the park achieves autonomy through a change in level toward its surroundings and a unique atmosphere, distinctively avoiding appropriation by the university as a front yard.

Senior Housing Flats “im Weingarten”, Rüschlikon in Switzerland by Horváth Pablo

Thursday, November 28th, 2019

Article source: Horváth Pablo

Located right next to the railway line in Rüschlikon, the two precisely placed struc-tures echo the linearity of the site and, at the same time, fit into the neighbour-hood’s open building pattern. The buildings’ positioning creates two generous exterior spaces that satisfy with their differing but high level of amenity. On the ground floor, the site borders on the railway line via a greened pergola establish-ing the important link to Lake Zurich. In contrast to the public lakeside area from where the building is accessed, the courtyard is a place of calm and togetherness. Herbaceous borders, richly flowering shrubs and geophytes have been loosely planted, lest the privacy of ground-floor flats be invaded by the other occupants. The remarkable arrangement and combination of plants lends this garden space a special touch – rich in structure, seasonal blooming sequence, and homogenous patches as well as single accents here and there. To someone looking down from the upper floors, the garden presents itself as a soothing oasis.

House in a park in Zürich, Switzerland by Think Architecture AG

Monday, November 25th, 2019

Article source: Think Architecture AG

This park-like plot comprises a collection of single-story, freely arranged spaces. The individual structures are held together by a continuous roof edge, which creates a transition with the undulating roof landscape. The volumes take their inspiration and height from the natural contours of the area and integrate themselves harmoniously into the verdant environment. This basic meandering shape disguises the actual size of the house, and its projections and recesses allow it to merge with the landscape of the surrounding parkland. All rooms have direct garden access and, depending on their aspect, attractive views of the park towards the mountain panorama or down towards the Lake Zurich basin. At the center of the floor plan lies an atrium that provides attractive lighting and brings living nature into the heart of the house. The basement is completely below ground and is only visible near the existing supporting wall.

New Construction Of A Triple Sports Hall Of The Wettingen Canton School in Switzerland by mlzd

Friday, October 11th, 2019

Article source: mlzd

The Cistercian monastery in Wettingen is a cultural monument of national importance. When the cantonal school moved into the monastery premises in 1979, the school’s sports hall with a swimming pool was constructed on the common land outside the monastery area. To maintain the historical view of the monastery, the sports hall and swimming pool were built underground, around a deep courtyard with longitudinal sides that provided the adjoining gymnasiums with daylight. The planned extension of the sports halls is also required to adhere to this principle and is thus being developed underground.
