HOUSING PROJECT – BONSTETTEN, SWITZERLAND

Competition 2009 – 2nd Prize

This housing complex has been commissioned by a developer for a village near Zürich with a large traditional housing stock and very strict building regulations.

Four buildings are lined up along the Isenbach and frame the existing farm houses and a new common space located in the south and west of the site. The Isenbachweg serves as access. Additionally, a new path crosses the site from north to south and connects common functions such as parking, a seating area and a playground.

The apartments are facing east west and have generous loggias to the Isenbach or the common outdoor area. The apartments are structured by a middle zone with bathrooms and kitchen which separates the bedrooms from the living area. The apartments can be changed in size during the planning phase due to the flexibility of the plan layout by moving the middle rooms to an adjacent apartment. The apartments can be oriented west or east thereby avoiding the usual stack of identical floor plans and differentiating the facades, giving the buildings a unique appearance in the village.

NATURE MUSEUM – ST. GALLEN, SWITZERLAND

Competition 2009

Nature is increasingly understood as an interrelated system in which mankind inevitably is a part. A nature museum should make such connections visible and allow for new insights. The proposal therefore, does not follow a classical museum typology. It aims to define a new prototype for a museum in which archive and exhibition, conservation and presentation have equal value; visitors and exhibit, exterior and interior space are part of a larger whole.

The functions are concentrated on the northern edge of the site in a cubic, compact and vertically organized building volume. The generous outdoor space in front of the Church St. Maria Neudorf is thereby kept intact and is used as the link to the botanical garden.

The archival spaces are stacked like large storage containers around the vertical core. With the core they form a larger volume that organizes and structures the building.

The bearing structure is made from rolled sheets of recycled steel that have been bent into standardized U-shapes. Arranged rosswise they form the floors and ceilings, installed vertically they form outer and inner load-bearing walls. The project would require about 320t of steel, the equivalent amount of steel as contained in 530 Golf A4.

MORE THAN HOUSING – ZÜRICH, SWITZERLAND

Competition 2009

This project, a competition organized by the private housing cooperative “Mehr als Wohnen” and the city of Zürich, is conceived to provide 320 apartments and shared amenities on a formerly industrial site in Zürich with the aim of conforming to the vision of the 2000W society. Heating energy consumption, transportation and grey energy are minimized and building costs kept at below 3500 SFr/sqm GFA. Apartments are strictly oriented south in slim ribbon buildings which are spaced with the required distance to guarantee, that the complete south façade is getting complete south sun exposure, even in the winter time. Each apartment is a passive house so that only the desired level of comfort might necessitate additional heating (here provided by district heating). With its framing structure, prefabricated shafts and non-bearing dividing walls, the project achieves a high amount of flexibility in terms of apartment layout and variety in the façade pattern. A central zone of public program and circulation orientated north – south makes the area accessible and connects the city to the north with the park in the south.
