The Schwamendingen District in Transition

Vor über 50 Jahren als „Gartenzimmer“ Zürichs mit großzügigen Wohnquartieren und durchlässigen Außenräumen entworfen, hat der Stadtteil Schwamendingen seinen grünen Charakter bis heute bewahrt. Viele Wohnungen im Quartier entsprachen jedoch nicht mehr den heutigen Wohnstandards, weshalb ein Wettbewerb zur Neubebauung ausgeschrieben wurde.

Für das Baufeld A überzeugte der Entwurf des Zürcher Architekturbüros BS+EMI Architektenpartner AG. Ihr Projekt „CASARECCE“ stellt sechs fünfgeschossige, geschwungene Zeilenbauten – gespiegelt und paarweise gruppiert – auf das Wettbewerbsareal und platziert entlang der Dübendorfstraße eingeschossige Gewerbebauten, die dort zwei Zeilenbauten abschließen. Damit lassen die Architekten spannende und qualitätsvolle Freiräume entstehen.

Auch die Wohnungen sind clever konzipiert: Sie verfügen über durchgehende, zweiseitig orientierte Wohn-/Essbereiche mit Blick ins Freie. Die Wohnzimmer mit Balkon sind abwechselnd zum weiteren, die Küchen zum engeren Außenraum orientiert. Die Wohnküche ist durch ein gläsernes Oberlicht und eine Glastür abtrennbar und der einfache Grundriss trotz knapper Wohnungsgröße funktional und gut belichtet.

Use of Polyurethane

2000 kg PUR elastomer A60

From the outside, the slender buildings impress with a facade made of fiber cement panels. Around 2,000 kg of our castable polyurethane elastomer PUR elastomer A60 was used for the individual structure. The Elementwerk Istighofen AG precast plant poured the fiber cement panels, which emphasize the vertical with their repetitive pattern and lend the facade rhythm.

Overall, the design reflects A.H. Steiner’s original Garden City concept from the 1940s, preserves its qualities in a contemporary way - and shows that it’s possible to meet the urban development challenges of the future.
