Refurbishment of UNIA’s Strassburgstrasse office building . Zurich

We renovated UNIA’s office building on Strassburgstrasse, which was built in 1974. Since the façade was renovated around 10 years ago, the indoor climate had become unbearable: in particular, the extreme heat in summer was a problem for the users.

We therefore worked with Kegel Klimasysteme to renovate the building’s building services in order to realign the entire building services concept:

In order to generate storage mass, all suspended ceilings were removed and the exposed concrete ceiling was left untreated. Together with the untreated wood, the glass partition walls, the acoustically effective bricks and goat hair carpets, as well as the visible installations, the result is a harmonious office space. There is only one fresh air supply per storey, and the air is only blown to the areas where people are present. The building now only consumes around 10-20% of the energy it previously needed to operate.
