TWO NEW BUILDINGS ON A NARROW, LONG & SLOPING PLOT OVERLOOKING THE BEAUTIFUL GREEN LANDSCAPE TOWARDS SIHLTAL.
THE 2 HOUSES CONTAIN RENTAL APARTMENTS AND FACE EACH OTHER WITH OPEN STAIRCASES LEADING UP TO THE LARGE ROOF TOP TERRACES.
EVERY FLAT HAS OUTDOOR SPACE TO INCORPORATE THE OUTSIDE IN AND EXPAND THE FLOWING FLOOR PLANS IN A SMOOTH FASHION.
THE BAY WINDOWS CREATE LIGHT AND OPEN SPACES FOR CONTEMPORARY LIVING WHILE KEEPING ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE IN MIND.
THE ROUGH CONCRETE ON THE EXTERIOR IS PLAYING WITH THE STRAIGHT AND SUPER GEOMETRIC STEELWORK OF THE HANDRAILS AND PARAPETS, NOT ONLY IN SURFACE AND TEXTURE BUT ALSO COLOUR-WISE.
