Built around 1900, this apartment house is located on a favored hillside in the Hirslanden district, close to nature. The elaborately crafted clinker brick façade with classic window surrounds and embossed sandstone plinth are typical features of turn-of-the-century Zurich brick architecture.

During careful overall refurbishment, the spacious flats were freed from the ballast of previous partial renovations and restored with the charm of an elegant old building and modern extension. Geophysical methods were used to investigate the complex ground structure in a non-destructive manner to ensure that the structural challenges were met.

Sustainable and local natural materials will be used to create a subtle atmosphere. The house will be equipped with modern building services that will offer future tenants a high level of comfort.
