Here the panorama of Lake Zurich, there the sun: the polarity on two sides, which is typical of the places on the southern shore of Lake Zurich, is geologically exaggerated here, as it were, because an elongated rocky ridge runs just below the terrain. It opposes the larger slope, creating a flat surface to the south and an even steeper gradient to the north. The new building above becomes a constructed rocky ridge, fissured by the forward and backward movement of the building volume. At the narrowest points of this rock formation, gorge-like passages open up in the base.
In the residential storeys above, the two-sidedness of the site can be experienced particularly vividly at these «waists» of the building structure. Typologically, the building is composed of four triangular segments that are organised in three spans. The sculptural development ensures that each flat is orientated towards two or even three sides. While two flats complement each other in the transitions between the segments, the third, outermost flat reaches far out into the open. The communal areas of each flat are linked to form a sequence of rooms that are embedded in the framework given by the individual rooms.
