Transformation in a central location
The site, located not far from the Zurich viaduct, offers a special opportunity: existing structures are reinterpreted, new architectural elements are added, and together they form a neighbourhood that integrates harmoniously into its urban context. The planned perimeter block development, the diverse residential offerings and a green, landscaped courtyard create distinctive accents without being intrusive.
Focus on sustainability and quality of stay
Particularly compelling is the approach of combining existing and new buildings while relying on sustainable materials. This is complemented by carefully designed outdoor spaces that shape the neighbourhood and create high-quality places to spend time.
The article in the NZZ Yearbook provides an in-depth insight into the background of this development and illustrates how the Heinrichareal can become a future-proof place for various user groups.
