There are plans to construct new housing in a meadow orchard in the midst of a heterogeneous urban development structure in the centre of the municipality of Zuchwil.

To ensure that the quality of this green area is still perceptible, the space allocation will be divided up among three buildings, which will be oriented towards the dominant building heights of the surrounding developments and will enhance the town centre as a striking ensemble. The alignment of the buildings will create a park-like environment with flowing outside spaces and fascinating views that are enhanced by the building shape.

A coherent network of paths, supplemented by different horticultural themes, playfully leads through the development. The prominent location of the site suggests that ambitious architectural demands will be made of the development. This aspect will be taken into account by the careful and innovative design of the façade. Strips of façade that surround the building, relief-like and composed of layers of differing widths, structure the building volume horizontally. Floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious loggias alternate with closed elements.

The apartments are aligned in layers from the compact core of the building out towards the façade. The wet rooms are grouped around the interior core of access while the living and dining area encloses the rooms aligned towards the façade like a clasp.
