House with a Flying Roof / Lorenz Bachmann

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The spatial idea is a room on the roof, defined only by horizontal elements: the floor and the two roof surfaces. On all sides, there are views down into the garden and across the hilly landscape. The room is sheltered and, at the same time, seemingly endless.

Music Pavilion / Lorenz Bachmann + Atelier Void

Paula Pintos — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 03:00:00 +0000

A pianist asked us to imagine a space entirely dedicated to music, where she can practice and teach: a quiet and magical space as an integral part of her beautiful garden in the Swiss town of Winterthur. The single-story music pavilion stands on a simple concrete base. Both, the walls and the pitched roof, are constructed with 12cm thick cross-laminated timber panels – almost like a cardboard model. The steep gable roof rests on both ends of the walls and floats along the eaves in order to completely open the room towards the garden.

Cities from US and Europe Seek to Ban Fossil Fuels in New Buildings

Maria-Cristina Florian — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 05:30:00 +0000

Boston is the latest city to announce a city-wide plan that, if passed, would eliminate the use of fossil fuels in new constructions and major renovation projects. This measure expands upon the commitment to enact climate action and make Boston a Green New Deal city. Other US cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle, and Berkeley have all imposed similar measures in recent years. Seven European cities - Bilbao, Bratislava, Dublin, Munich, Rotterdam, Vienna, and Winterthur - have also developed a project to phase out fossil fuel from urban heating and cooling.

DOW House D / Dettling Architekturstudio

Luciana Pejić — Sat, 25 Jun 2022 09:00:00 +0000

On the outskirts of Winterthur, a new residential building blends into a neighborhood built in the fifties. Wide plots of land with set-back villas and well-tended gardens characterize the picture. Pines, spruces, and deciduous trees tower over the houses and provide a view of the Eschenberg in the spaces in between. A two-story detached house with a large garden has existed on the property on a private road for 60 years.

K118 Kopfbau Halle 118 / baubüro in situ

Andreas Luco — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Former Sulzer factory site in Winterthur, the Swiss Pension Fund „Stiftung Abendrot“ built a beacon for climate-friendly and sustainable building that shimmers red in its reused sectional metal sheeting. The extension of the head building of Hall 118 for 12 studios think tanks, and a tinkerer‘s laboratory on the first floor was made mainly from used building materials. „All things that were already there plus wood, straw, and clay“.

WIN4 Sports Centre / EM2N

Daniel Tapia — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 08:00:00 +0000

The WIN4 Sports Centre in Winterthur is located beside the existing Deutweg ice arena. Catering for both mass and top-level sport, this new project is intended to have an impact far beyond the city of Winterthur. On this account a kind of architecture was aimed for that translates these national and international ambitions into a memorable architectural language. Three distinctively different building volumes form an ensemble and define a shared outdoor space.

Housing Project Oberzelg / Esch Sintzel Architekten

Valeria Silva — Thu, 11 Feb 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Concept. Politically, Sennhof belongs to the city of Winterthur, but geographically the suburb is clearly separated from the city area and forms a village exclave in the valley of the Töss. The river not only shapes the topography, it also aligns the elements of the settlement in the direction of flow: Buildings, road, railway line, forest edges. This also applies to the buildings and open spaces of the new Oberzelg settlement, which is squeezed between the cantonal road and the railway line.

Fehlman Estate II / Bob Gysin Partner BGP

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 15 Jan 2021 14:00:00 +0000

In 2010, the Fehlmann estate was developed with six pavilion-style residential buildings by BGP, which satisfy the desire to live in natural surroundings while being near to urban facilities. Since August 2020, they have been complemented with two further buildings, which tie in with the existing structures in their design and their arrangement on the plot. From a distance, they are indistinguishable from the earlier buildings. If you take a closer look, however, depending on the angle of the sunlight, you see that the new buildings are clad with electricity-generating photovoltaic (PV) modules instead of black-enamelled glass panels.

Sprössling Daycare / Marazzi Reinhardt

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 10:00:00 +0000

Two organizations initiated the project for daycare for children and exhibition space. The daycare center is designed for two groups of children with and without disabilities.

Hagmannareal Housing Development / ARGE HAGMANNAREAL + weberbrunner architekten ag + Soppelsa Architekten

Andreas Luco — Sun, 15 Dec 2019 02:00:00 +0000

The area around Seen railway station has been owned by the Hagmann family for decades. The architectural competition sought to construct car-free, affordable residences in an apartment building with an architecturally and ecologically superior design. The site is accessed on two levels along the edge of the slope, which acts simultaneously as connection and division. The development has two typologies: the courtyard house - an existing former carpentry shop - and the new building with three wings that wind around a central courtyard and range from three to six storeys.

“sue&til” – New City of Wood Housing / ARGE suetil + weberbrunner architekten ag + Soppelsa Architekten

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 10:00:00 +0000

Weberbrunner in collaboration with soppelsa architekten won the commissioned study "Housing development with commercial areas in Neuhegi, Winterthur" in November 2013. According to the tender, around 300 residential units, ground floor public-oriented commercial space, and an underground car park with around 200 parking spaces were to be built on two plots.

Bahnhofplatz Winterthur / Stutz Bolt Partner

Cristian Aguilar — Tue, 13 May 2014 01:00:00 +0000

The Station Square of Winterthur is located on a strategic location between the old city, the train station and an upcoming retail and office district. Almost 100’000 people cross it every day as pedestrians – at the same time it’s the heart of Winterthur’s city bus lines.

Gottshalden / Rossetti + Wyss Architekten

Fernanda Castro — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000
