LOCATION
District 9, Zurich, Switzerland
The property is located on the outskirts of the southern part of Zurich.
Confined by the forest in the north the elongated parcel is situated on a steep hillside.
The residential building appears from down- hill like a four-story, tower-like structure.
In the building the two family dwellings are each organized over two floors.
Oriel-like extensions of the building create a spatial reference in the diagonal of the living room.
Through the inversion of the spatial principle balconies emerge in the corners of the building on the attic floor.The space-creating drywalls and furniture elements are veneered with light brown ash.
Those ele- ments together with the terrazzo floor and the smooth surface of the concrete create a harmonic colour and atmosphere of the interior.
