Their choice of materials: Concrete for the main building, wood for the mezzanines and lots of glass for the façade. Our triple insulating glass SILVERSTAR SELEKT as almost room-high glazing with a high light transmission value ensures very good lighting of the individually designable interior spaces and also shows the productive interior life of the different tenants. The building houses a gin distillery, a confectionery store, and a bicycle store, among others.
A low total energy transmittance helps maintain a balanced temperature level in summer and winter. This also helps to reduce the building's energy consumption by saving heating and cooling energy.
The building, which is in keeping with zeitgeist of flexibility, was awarded the "Prize for Good Buildings of the City of Zurich".
