The Cocoon building is located on the outskirts of Zürich in the Seefeld Quarter, lying on a superb hillside with optimal sunshine and views overlooking Zurich Lake and the mountains on the horizon.

The unique quality of the site exists due to its extraordinary and park-like landscape surroundings. 

The Cocoon building lies gently nestled within this green oasis surrounded on three sides by magestic old trees opening itself up to the South, providing a wonderful view overlooking the lake and mountains.

The elliptical building elegantly spirals out= its landscape, forming an autonomous building sculpture. 

A stainless steel mesh screen wraps the building like a veil creating a modest sense of elegance and privacy while simultaneously creating an distinctive Identity.
