NEW BAHNHOFQUARTIER WETTINGEN COMPETITION WIN
Our first prize proposal transforms a former industrial site into the new station quarter and plaza of Wettingen (Zurich agglomeration). With up to 130 apartments, commercial spaces, and garden city-inspired structures, it creates a distinctive entrance to the city. Vertical gardens, open spaces, and a resource-efficient design ensure a sustainable and harmonious integration into the surrounding urban space. More details are coming soon!

FIRST PRIZE TO TRANSFORM THE HAGENBÜNDTEN TRAINING CAMPUS

Our winning design envisions a low-impact architectural ensemble that carefully integrates the partial reuse of existing structures of the relocated Baloise training campus in Arlesheim (Basel agglomeration) with newly built elements. The result is a composition of three distinct buildings set within a shared outdoor space, evoking the atmosphere of a forest clearing. This configuration enables a variety of residential typologies, each with private outdoor areas that seamlessly connect to the surrounding natural landscape. The planning phase is underway, and we look forward to the next stages of this transformative project.

HOUSE PI GROWS

The private townhouse in the Basel Bachletten area and in close proximity to Schützenmatt park is growing and soon to be finished. Its distinctive architectural design offers a playful yet consequent spatial configuration between the street to the front and the green to the back. Two trees configure the floor plan layout as one at the entrance of the building guards the front door and facade to Mariasteinstrasse, and the other one is encircled by the ground floor living room and dining/kitchen area at the garden side.

ORÉE ALMOST FINISHED

The future Orée district in Crissier, near Lausanne, benefits from a prime location, surrounded by nature, transport links, and services. The project combines a structured urban plan with architectural diversity and flexible design processes. Developed by BW Architekten, HHF, and Tatiana Bilbao Estudio, it provides autonomy to each team. The master plan prevents buildings by the same architect from being adjacent. Cohesion is ensured through phased implementation and joint workshops. A mix of urban forms gives each structure a unique identity. Stay tuned for more!

UETIKON LIBRARY ON THE WAY
The three-story building in Uetikon am See showcases sustainable and adaptable architecture in the town centre. It houses a public library, a medical centre with labs, and apartments. Built with solid timber slabs and wooden construction, it meets Minergie and Swiss Sustainable Building Standard (SNBS) criteria, allowing future flexibility. The structure features fir and spruce wood resting on a concrete foundation. Surrounding balconies act as green filters, providing outdoor space and natural shading. Reusing the existing basement volume and reducing excavation maximises permeable surfaces, allowing for additional trees along the green facade to enhance shading. Stay tuned for more project updates in the forthcoming time ...

However, implementation is often challenging, which is why role models like the courtyard development ‘Landskronhof’ are so important as pioneering pilot projects for successful inner-city densification.” writes author Miriam Stierle about our LANDSKRONHOF project in the recent Baumeister edition B6 – June 2024.
