\n Residential Towers by the Tracks, Wallisellen\n <\/h1>\n

The design supports the transformation of a former industrial site in Wallisellen, north of Zurich, into a mixed-use urban quarter. It unites the area\u2019s contrasting industrial and residential scales in an ensemble of three residential towers set atop a shared, multifunctional base. The result is a distinct urban figure that accommodates diverse uses and spatial experiences.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

The Base as Urban Interface<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The volumetric foundation is defined by the base, formed by the first four floors. The ground floor contains flexible rental spaces for gastronomy, retail, and services. Three main entrances connect the building to various parts of the neighbourhood. Selective openings in the base fa\u00e7ade offer framed views into the verdant courtyard landscape.

Layers of Dwelling<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Above the commercial ground floor, three levels form a diverse layer with a mix of co-living units, studios, communal areas, and open walkways arranged around four internal courtyards and vertical gardens. From the fifth floor upward, the towers contain conventional apartments in various sizes (from 2.5 to 5.5 rooms). Together, the project offers a total of 222 flats suited to a variety of urban lifestyles.
