How does sustainable urban infill work? We are delighted that one of our projects, the Parish and Residential House on Kurvenstrasse in Zurich, has been featured on BauNetz as one of the exemplary urban densification projects in Switzerland! The project showcases how good architecture and careful urban design can create new, high-quality housing within urban surroundings while maintaining the balance between historically significant elements (in our case, a listed church), green spaces with high recreational value, and new constructions. We are committed to designing sustainable and livable spaces for the city of tomorrow. https://www.baunetz.de/meldungen/Meldungen-Zwoelf_Nachverdichtungsprojekte_in_der_Schweiz_9595326.html #Architecture #UrbanDesign #Densification #SustainableDevelopment #Zurich #SmallHybrid #ResidentialBuilding #ParishHouse #Sustainability #Helsinkizurich #Ramserschmid

Last Wednesday, the Finnish Embassy in Bern and the Finnish Honorary Consulate in Zurich hosted a screening of the architectural film ‘AALTO’ by @VirpiSuutari at the beautiful RiffRaff-building by Peter Märkli in Zurich. To welcome the guests, Roland Züger, architect, editor-in-chief of @werkbauenundwohnen and lecturer at @ZHAW.archbau, and HZ’s Tommi as the Honorary Consul of Finland, discussed the work of the Aaltos in today’s architectural and personal context. The film took viewers into the fascinating world behind the globally renowned name Aalto. The highly intimate film shed light on the significance and role of Aalto’s two wives in the creative processes. It exemplified the humanistic approach to design of one of the most significant modern architects through key buildings and furniture pieces. We would like to thank guests for coming to this great evening, as well the @FinlandinSwitzerland for making this evening possible.
