Tall in the Gleisfeld
Based on a previous project (skate park), the space available in the SBB Junggesellenheime for shift workers is being optimized.
A residential building is being created that not only replaces all the previous flats, but also offers more spacious and pleasant living space for more people. Shift workers will be accommodated on the first three upper floors, and a total of 30 additional 3.5 room flats will be built on the other floors. The shape of the building leans on its surroundings and takes up the curved lines of the skate park and the railway tracks. It stands on four free-standing concrete plinths, which serve as communal spaces and for access. The resulting spaces in between are used as a passageway and entrance to the skate park.
