Text description provided by the architects. An extensive stock of mature trees forms a green envelope around the land and buildings at Chilestieg in Rümlang. The 6,453 square-metre site is bounded to the north by Chilestieg and to the east by Glatttalstraße. The low-density residential development Baumschlager Eberle Architekten have planned here reveals a sensitive response to the texture and arrangement of the surroundings. The location and orientation of the three buildings with their three or four storeys take due account of the structures in the vicinity. The buildings are carefully embedded in the gentle, flowing landscape around the site, and the generous spacing between them underlines the park-like character of the development.
