The city of Baden owes its name to the hot springs at the Limmatknie. The Römerstrasse, named after the builders, leads from the town center to the industrial area. This is where Brown, Boveri & Cie – today's ABB – was founded in 1891.

Based on the urban master plan, a residential estate with a high identity is being created along the Bellariarain. The residential buildings, staggered in length and point houses, and their integration into an overall figure with a strong topographical reference are anchored in the neighbourhood and in the residential park in terms of scale.

Sonnenhof Wil / Michael Meier Marius Hug Architekten

The nearby city park of Wil with its magnificent tree population seems to radiate over the sloping hill to the southwest on the area of Sonnenhof. The tree population of the knoll includes the tennis courts and forms the rear space for the new building with apartments for elderly to the north and east. The altitude and the view to the south, the proximity to the existing nursing home and the wooded green space are the essential characteristics of this favorable location. The proposed structure is interpreted as a kind of "Dépendance " of the existing retirement home. Situated on the edge of the site, the structure explores the qualities of the different orientations in the landscape area and the proximity to the trees. The basic figure branches out into the existing glade-like spaces and creates through its facade multilateral references for the different dwellings. In its expression the structure distances itself from the existing buildings of the retirement home, but it’s in sympathy with its colours to the surrounding trees and creates in the other hand through its altitude a precise reference to the silhouette of the pensioner housing tracts. This relationship is strengthened by the verticality of the multiple edges of the building, which is also a formative architectural element of the existing buildings, manifested by the arrangement of the balconies and the turned headbuildings.

Stampf Swimming Facility / Michael Meier Marius Hug Architekten

The new building is the starting and finishing point for guests at the Stampf swimming facility. It creates a spatial conclusion for the public bathing area on the banks of the River Jona and accommodates an entrance and exit, changing rooms with lockers and showers, as well as a self service restaurant. Powerful concrete ribs structure the building in a rhythmical way along its longitudinal axis, thereby visibly fulfilling the building's function as the backbone of the facility.

Dwelling House with Barn / Michael Meier Marius Hug Architekten

Daniel Sánchez — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Reconstructing the barn, this detached conglomerate of buildings outside Schwamendingen got back its urban presence. Acting as an historic witness in an area of multi-storey residential buildings, it works as an identity generator.

Rectory and Church Hall / Michael Meier Marius Hug Architekten

Daniel Sánchez — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Within the mainly even, loose building structure of Klosters-Serneus, the ensemble around the Church of St. James, which faces more dense development and the undeveloped cemetery quarter, has its own urban planning qualities. The lengthy new building for the church hall, whose western external wall is aligned with the former cemetery walls, borders at its front end with the forecourt of the church and is longitudinally inserted between the cemetery and the rectory garden.
