Masterplan Unterfeld

The heart of the urban design concept for Unterfeld is a large park that extends across the municipal boundary between Baar and Zug. Its unique feature: the borders are imagined away and the two communities of Zug and Baar are united. This is a marked benefit for this place, where there is currently no recognizable urbanity or comprehensive planning. The Unterfeld site is treated as a single urban spatial unit – irrespective of governmental jurisdictions. The expansive park differentiates between the newly created urban space and all the surrounding development, thereby establishing a unique identity for the adjacent buildings and a spacious sense of centrality, with Lindenplatz as an entrée, in the immediate vicinity of the commuter train station.
