IN A PRIVATE PARK, ON A HILL BY ZURICH’S CITY LIMITS, LIES AN ABANDONED VILLA. THE HOUSE IS IN A DESOLATE STATE AND WILL BE TORN DOWN TO MAKE ROOM FOR A NEW STRUCTURE. 

ON THE ONE HAND, OUR PROPOSAL FOR THE REBUILDING PROJECT, AIMS TO MAINTAIN THE MANY REMARKABLE QUALITIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CURRENT VILLA AND ON THE OTHER IT AIMS TO INTEGRATE THE PROPOSED BUILDING GENEROUSLY WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS. 

IN COMPLIANCE WITH EXISTING BUILDING REGULATIONS, EVERY ARM OF THE TWO BUILDINGS ALIGN, SO THAT APARTMENTS RETAIN A WIDE AND SCENIC VIEW OF THE LANDSCAPE WHILE ALSO BEING CONNECTED TO THE IMMEDIATE GARDEN.
