Building application submitted

On March 12, 2024, we were able to submit the building application for the new Graubünden University of Applied Sciences Center. On site, construction profiles are now rising into the light blue spring sky of Chur. At the same time, the first preparatory work is already underway, such as the rerouting of the Mühlbach creek south of Pulvermühlestrasse and the demolition of the existing buildings on the site. Construction is scheduled to start at the beginning of 2025. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the client, the Graubünden Building Authority, the users of the Graubünden University of Applied Sciences and, last but not least, all the members of the entire general planning team for their good cooperation. We look forward to the next steps in the project development.

Ground-breaking for new Clinic 2 building Basel

The public, two-stage competition was decided in 2013. After more than 10 years of planning, the official ground-breaking took place on 22 January 2024 for the new Clinic 2 building at the University Hospital Basel. With this important act, the client sees the start of a generational project. We look forward with the client to the upcoming realisation of phase 1, which will last until 2030.

1st prize Letzigarten site Zurich

We are delighted to have won first prize in the Letzigarten site study in Zurich and would like to thank Studio Vulkan Landschaftsarchitektur and Synaxis Bauingenieure for their good collaboration. An ensemble of three different, archetypal building types (figure, row, tower) responds to the heterogeneous surroundings and creates attractive, differentiated free spaces and a variety of apartments for a diversified population. The large inner garden creates added social value for the entire area and the urban climate. The three building types each have efficient and economical load-bearing structures. The preservation of the underground parking garage and the reused concrete slabs create ecological added value. Last but not least, the free spaces and architecture create strong, individual identities.
