 Gegen gängige Schön­heits­kon­ven­tionen in  /

Against common aes­thetic con­ven­tions

Andreas Fuhrimann Gabrielle Hächler Archi­tekten from Zurich (CH) won 1st prize in this year’s “Houses of the Year — the best single-family houses” com­pe­tition for the project “Der Stadt­bau­stein”.


“Pure and pro­vo­cative, self-con­fident, uncon­ven­tional and com­for­table” was the verdict of the high-ranking jury of experts on the unusual building in Zurich’s Wip­kingen dis­trict.


Spiegel online ran the headline “Züricher Trutzburg (mit Bau­stel­len­cha­rakter)” (Zurich fortress with con­s­truction site cha­racter) and is curr­ently asking for opi­nions. What do you think, dear readers?



You can find more infor­mation about the com­pe­tition, which is being held for the ele­venth time by Callwey Verlag, here.

… das ist schon ein sehr radi­kaler Bau. Außen Roh­bau­zu­stand, nur die Regen­tropf­kante ist perfekt, und innen aller­feinstes Ambiente. In Sachen Qua­lität und Anspruch der Details können sich mut­maßlich 99% der deut­schen Büros hier eine Scheibe abschneiden.
Man wünscht sich, das dort eine selbst­be­wusste Bau­herr­schaft wohnt. Und hof­fentlich grüsst noch die Nach­bar­schaft!
