Residential development, Kilchberg

Urban space miracle
Year constructed: 2013

In the municipality of Kilchberg with its magnificent view of the Albis chain of hills and the lake, the task was to create a space accommodating several residential units. The major challenge was posed by the special topography of the property, which is bordered by roads on three sides, and the client's desire to create as much private living space as possible. In keeping with our credo «place creates space, space creates place», we achieved the maximum under the demanding local conditions, taking into account the intention to combine home ownership as well as rental space. Owners and tenants are thus able to enjoy a great deal of independence as a result of the skilful conception of the building, which creates a separation between the flats and the house through separate entrances and approaches. The owner's main house enjoys all the advantages of a single-family home thanks to the creatively placed atrium.
