The tranquil little town of Mels lies at the foot of the Gonzen, on the banks of the Seez and in the direct neighbourhood of Sargans. The Stoffel textile factory, built between 1867 and 1874, towers high above Mels. It was powered by the mountain stream and provided jobs in the textile industry for over a hundred years. After a fire and several changes of ownership, the industrial wasteland was auctioned off in 2007. Thanks to a competition won in 2013, the venerable factory halls were renovated and extended. Between 2016 and 2022, a neighbourhood with 250 new flats was created with conversions and new buildings. Continue reading Michael Meier and Marius Hug

The city of Baden owes its name to the hot springs at the Limmatknie. The Römerstrasse, named after the builders, leads from the town centre to the industrial area. This is where Brown, Boveri & Cie – today’s ABB – was founded in 1891. A villa of the founders and the large industrial site bear witness to the former glamour of the location. Somewhat peripherally, on the wooded hillside facing the Limmat, stand four pavilion-like extension buildings from the 1960s. Thanks to a successful competition in 2010, the filigree office structure could be converted into 78 condominiums and occupied in 2022. Continue reading Michael Meier and Marius Hug

Basel is growing upwards. In the middle of Kleinbasel, on the axis between the core city and Badischer Bahnhof, the Rosentalturm is the third high-rise in the ensemble together with the Messe and Claraturm towers and anchors the location of the trade fair on the city level. At the level of the city’s inhabitants, the skyscrapers flank the spatial sequence Clarastrasse, Stadt-Lounge, Messeplatz and Rosentalanlage. The Rosentalturm’s position and profile as a slender body create optimal lighting for the exhibition square and, with its permeable base, an expansive, diagonal reference to the Rosentalanlage. In this way, the successful competition entry from 2022 mediates between the city and the neighbourhood. Continue reading Michael Meier and Marius Hug

The Haus am Belt Walk stands on the flank of the moraine hill that accompanies Lake Zurich in Wollishofen, in the direct vicinity of the Bellariarain housing estate. The exposed location on the sloping terrain and the resulting view of Lake Zurich are characteristic of the new replacement building, which emerged from a study commission in 2014 and had been completed in 2021.

Based on the urban master plan, a residential estate with a high identity is being created along the Bellariarain. The residential buildings, staggered in long and point houses, and their integration into an overall figure with a strong topographical reference are anchored in the neighbourhood and in the residential park in terms of scale. The landscaping is a contemporary interpretation of Gustav Ammann’s residential park in terms of design and function and takes up the pathways from the neighbourhood, allowing residents to experience the landscape on different paths.
