This block of dwellings, which stands like a monolith at the top of a hill, is an exotic development in the context of the more conventional surrounding buildings. Its grey, iridescent facade, with large punched openings, was constructed with galvanized steel sheeting adhesive fixed to the supporting structure without bolts. The windows, which protrude slightly from the surface plane, consist of frameless fixed-glazing elements with un-treated larch ventilation units. In this way, a contrast was created between warmer and cooler materials. The north-facing entrance front overlooks the city of Zurich, while from the rear face one has a view of a wooded slope. The two-storey entrance hall provides access to two large dwellings – which rise from the ground to the first floor – and to two smaller flats in the roof storey. The dwellings are of various sizes and interlock with each other. Internally, they are distinguished by different room heights, extensive visual links, invisible light sources and their flexibly combined living, dining and kitchen areas.
