The aim of the design was to enhance the quality of the streetscape along the Schaffhauserstrasse in Zurich, both architecturally and in terms of urban development, and to give it a positive image. The volume is focused on creating a visual highlight along the street construction line where it can take its effect on the identity of the locale. The building’s address with entrance to all 25 apartments and the head office of the BG Luegisland is located in correspondence to his neighbors on the road. Six apartments per story are accessed via a single stairwell. Continue reading Blättler Dafflon

The Concrete Villa is a single house on the Comano hills, a small village north of Lugano in Switzerland. The plot was previously occupied by vineyards and characterised by an elongated trapezoid form, which determines the volume.

In order to avoid the effect of an excessively long and closed volume but also ensuring a level of privacy, the flank elevations are articulated by a series of deep rectangular fins.

It is no exaggeration to say that most multi-family houses in the neighborhoods are the results of the auto-generative form by building regulations such as the solar setback requirements and by the economic inevitability to accommodate as many units as possible on relatively small land. Thus the form is difficult to understand, the structure is dislocated and space becomes stifling. The result is left to the tenants, and it is still difficult to rent a decent house where a table can find its right place. Continue reading aoa architects
