Under the theme of building in wood, we first visited one of the temporary sports halls by pool Architekten in the Enge district, which was awarded the Prix Lignum Holzbauten 2024 in gold. This was followed by the row house settlement in Baden by EMI Architekten, whose houses are only 3.75 metres narrow and reveal a generous spatial experience inside. In the afternoon, we were given a guided tour of the new Erne office building by Burkard Meyer Architekten in Stein. Here, as with the Hortus project in Allschwil by Herzog & de Meuron, we were shown innovative constructions that use sustainable, regional materials and minimise the ecological footprint of all the elements used. Many thanks for the inspiring guided tours on site.

The beautiful weather has lured us into the mountains the weekend before last. Some employees from various teams visited the via ferrata near Kandersteg and tackled some interesting traverses. They returned to the office on Monday in good health.

We visited the construction site of the Pilatus Arena and the residential towers in Kriens. Some of the spatial situations are already clearly visible. The handball arena will be completed and go into operation in fall 2025, while the two residential towers will be completed in fall 2026.

The architects' soccer tournament took place on Sunday in Wollishofen. We congratulate the winners and are training hard to be in top shape for next year.

Our project for the new BFG-Areal housing project has been published in the Halter Group magazine. A courtyard house, a row of flats and a 60 metre high apartment tower - create different and attractive open spaces as well as good spatial transitions to the neighbouring buildings. The chosen typologies promote social interaction, revitalise the open spaces and create good places to spend time. Giuliani Hönger is responsible for the tower and courtyard house, Tobler Gmür for the row and Studio Vulkan for the open space.

The guiding theme of Sustainability 2.0 led us to two new buildings in an urban development area outside the centre of Zurich and a conversion of a historic SBB workshop building on the edge of the track field. The Zwhatt high-rise by Boltshauser Architekten in Regensdorf features a hybrid construction of wood and concrete. Building Q in the SBB workshops shows the conversion of the protected building on Hohlstrasse. The Allmend school building in Greencity Manegg connects the neighbourhood with an accessible roof for sports and leisure activities. Many thanks for the inspiring guided tours on site.

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.

In December 2023, the Schlieren City Council and the Schlieren City Planning Commission approved and signed the master plan for the Wagi site in Schlieren. The current GHZ commercial and industrial site is to be developed into a Bio-Technopark and research campus by 2040. With the support of Planpartner and an assessment committee, we worked as an interdisciplinary team with Kuhn Landschaftsarchitekten and IBV Hüsler Verkehrsplanung to develop the masterplan with the themes of open space, mobility, buildings and sustainability. A design plan is now being developed on the basis of the following guideline project.

The two mock-ups give an idea of the façade structure and architectural appearance of the Pilatus Arena and the residential towers in Kriens. The mock-up on the left shows the arena façade: extensive glazing allows views into the foyer of the "Stadtbalkon". High glass and perforated sheets with a textile appearance are clamped between vertical swords.

The mock-up on the right shows the structure and elements of the two residential towers: the day rooms are structurally glazed, the individual rooms are fitted with balustrades. Horizontal cornices made of light grey glass fiber elements, vertical pillars and smooth or corrugated sheet metal panels characterize the architectural structure. The arena and residential towers are connected by a finely differentiated color scheme and a common base.

Work on the excavation pit and civil engineering is in progress. The footprint of the new building ensemble can already be seen. On the left, facing Mattenplatz, a residential tower is being built that, with its 50-metre height, relates to the surrounding towers, centrally, you can see the geometry of the Arena with its future 4000 seats, and towards Bahnhofsplatz, the taller residential tower is being built, which will face the Lucerne Allmend.

We are very pleased to have won another 1st prize in the anonymous project competition for the new "Medizinisches Zentrum Nidwalden". Through the formation of the striking head building and the clear positioning of the low building, the extension gives the Nidwalden Hospital a new face and at the same time combines the existing buildings into an overall ensemble. The newly located main entrance to the Nidwalden hospital is accessed through a generous green space, which replaces the existing outdoor parking spaces and from which the large event hall and the employees' oasis are clearly visible as the end of the two buildings. The sustainable timber construction project looks for similarities to the existing building in terms of structure and degree of opening, while at the same time showing its clear constructive structure and interior and exterior materialisation. The structure of the façade elements covered with photovoltaics creates an interesting interplay of light and shadow that lends the volumes of the new building their lightness.

We are very pleased to have won another 1st prize in the “Chance Uetikon” study competition. The sculptural design of the buildings with risalits creates differentiated courtyard spaces and interrelated buildings with their own identities, addresses and good scalability. The structures and the plantings create different qualities of stay and situational privacy or openness and transparency and a varied environment. The longitudinal buildings along the Seestrasse provide noise protection and are also modulated and rhythmicised by outside bays. The differentiated structures also allow for the desired variety of flat types and sizes and last but not least, the risalites and oriels create good visual references to the lake, slope and courtyard spaces.

We are already looking forward to the next steps.

Overall performance study contract for the development of the ewb-Areal Ausserholligen, Bern

We are very pleased to have won 1st prize in the overall performance study contract for the development of the ewb site Ausserholligen in Berne as part of the Halter team, ARGE E2A / Giuliani Hönger / pool Architekten with Studio Vulkan Landschaftsarchitektur.

The ewb site is located between the Weyermannshaus sports and leisure complex and Europaplatz. Today, the two landowners, ewb and BLS, use the site primarily for industrial purposes. In the future, a sustainable, lively and diversely mixed working and living environment will be created on the site, which is optimally accessible by public transport. As a permeable urban centre, it will connect the various sites of the cantonal development focus Ausserholligen.

In addition to the new ewb headquarters, the newly founded "Viadukt" cooperative will build around 220 cooperative flats with exchange and communal areas in two high-rise residential buildings.

Exhibition of competition projects:

The winning project and the other competition projects can be viewed at a public exhibition from 22.05.2023 - 26.05.2023 in the Forsthaus energy centre. Information will be published on the website ewb.ch/ausserholligen in due course.

The former industrial quarter Attisholz in Solothurn is to be transformed over the next few years into an independent, lively quarter. Where cellulose was produced for more than 100 years in the past, people will now live and work. The conversion of the Kocherei building is the first important building block for the urban development of the area. A study commissioned by Halter AG called for a project with a diverse mix of uses such as housing, services, commerce and gastronomy. Our project proposal "Bernd, Hilla and Max" was awarded 2nd prize.

The urban design concept is based on a composition of different building blocks, whereby the Kocherei, as a historically valuable building, is integrated as a matter of course into the new complex, supplemented and topped up. The individual buildings are the “Kocherei”, the plinth, the block and the ashlar, which create a diverse range of spaces and flats. Excerpt from the jury report: "The contribution provides exciting and convincing answers on the most diverse levels. The authors succeed in responding to the site the site and its specific challenges in a targeted manner, reinforcing what already exists, generating something new and uniting the two worlds into a whole."

The seven project designs can be viewed from Thursday, 30 March 2023 at an exhibition on the site in the Eisenmagazin on Aareplatz.

We are pleased to announce that the "Sonderbauvorschriften Neu-Oerlikon" have been in force since 01.02.23. The basis for the revised SBV Neu-Oerlikon was our test planning of 2016 and the "Masterplan Neu-Oerlikon" derived from it.

The master plan defines where which open spaces should be created and it prepares the way for the protection of two important industrial monuments such as Hall 550 and the historic ABB Building 87T. The master plan also specifies where the permissible building heights and uses may be exceeded and how they can be densified with high urban development quality.

We made a summer trip to Ascona and Locarno to follow the early traces of the Ticino Tendenza as well as more recent projects by younger architects. We spent the night on Monte Verità in Emil Fahrenkamp's former sanatorium from 1929, which was renovated as a hotel in 1970 and extended by Livio Vacchini in 1990 to include a wing with a restaurant and auditorium. Following in the footsteps of the Ticino Tendenza, we were able to visit Luigi Snozzi's Casa Snider (together with Livio Vacchini) and Casa Kalman, which are considered milestones of 1970s Swiss architecture. What was surprising and convincing for our young team about both houses was how they fit into the landscape or the village structure in a differentiated way.

The new building for the University of Applied Sciences Centre was presented at the media conference on 10 August, after it had been confirmed by the cantonal government of Graubünden. The building project is to be discussed in parliament in autumn and submitted to the electorate in spring 2023. The five locations in the city of Chur are to be combined on one campus with the new building and the existing building on Pulvermühlestrasse. Construction of the new building is scheduled to begin in autumn 2024, and the university is to begin operating in spring 2028.

The Surber Burri building in Regensberg won the award in the housing architecture category. At first glance, the façade integrates itself mimicry-like into the row of houses in the Oberburg as a plastered timber-framed building typical of the locality. At second glance, the frame not only reveals the actual construction, but also expresses the internal spatial order to the outside. The day areas of the large owner-occupied flat and the two smaller rented flats are arranged one above the other and pierce the structure in such a way that daylight can enter deeply in the higher south-facing areas. We are delighted to have received the "best architects 23 award".

We are very pleased that our Schlotterbeck site is one of the 12 winners of the "Good Buildings Award of the City of Zurich" and has been honoured with the following description: "Workshops to flats, monument to landmark: the transformation of the former Citroën garage shows what quality can be created when old buildings are not lamented as obstacles but used as sources of inspiration. The ramp building of the former garage was raised to a cylindrical tower in which all the flats open up to the light. In the workshop building, too, the existing structure – 35 m building depth, different storey heights and a striking supporting structure – led to unique flat types. Here, densification generates not only building volume, but also spatial quality and social references."

From September 20 to October 30, 2021, the award-winning objects can be seen in the Architecture Forum on Zollstrasse in Zurich. It is the first exhibition in the new premises of the Architekturforum.

"GEMINI" was awarded 8th prize in the Campus Platztor project competition in St. Gallen.

Excerpt from the jury report:

"A building system is created that takes up the paths of the city and wants to continue them. This results in a very natural connection to the city, which is also reflected in the building heights and can react in a comparatively small-scale manner. At the same time, the ensemble shows a very plausible possibility of how the neighbourhood could develop further."
