HZ’s Zurich-Team had fun exploring porcelain as a design material during a workshop at @studio_sediment. Through hands-on casting, we created unique ceramic pieces and gained insights into production techniques, material behavior, and craftsmanship. The session offered a valuable connection between design, technique, and creative experimentation. Thanks to Nathalie and Marcel from Studio Sediment for hosting this inspiring and fun event. #HelsinkiZurich #Teamevent #GoodCleanFun #PorcelainWorkshop #StudioSediment #MaterialExploration #LocalCraft #CreativeProcess #DesignEducation #HandsOnDesign #CeramicDesign #Zurich #HZ #Switzerland

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
