The area north of the village centre of Sarnen, between the Feld industrial estate, the Bünten residential district, and Sarnen Nord railway station, is to be developed into a new, lively working and residential district in the coming years. The new Obwaldner Kantonalbank building marks the beginning of this long-term residential development in Sarnen North. This first building is located at the interface between Kägiswilerstrasse and the new neighbourhood street 'Im Feld', at the transition between the small-scale, green residential area and the large-scale commercial and service buildings. In the near future, further buildings are to follow on the Obwaldner Kantonalbank site and, together with the head office, form an ensemble with attractive working, living, and open spaces. From the outside, the new bank building appears as a strong, sculptural structure. The facade, a finely structured dark wood panelling and a robust concrete base on the ground floor, is intended to be an expression of stability, regionality, and diversity.

This new apartment building for the young and the young at heart is located close to the town center of Sarnen. It contains nine small and medium sized flats on five floors. Seated on a very narrow plot and adjacent to a train route it required an elaborate graduation of the floor plan and reclining of the vertical outline, which gives the building a sculptural appearance, provides the apartments with enough natural light and stunning views to the surrounding mountains and at the same time allows its inhabitants enough privacy and calmness.
