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

Arcplus from Shanghai visits helsinkizurich in Zurich for an inspiring exchange of ideas! Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a delegation of top architects and managers from Arcplus. We presented our projects and delved into thought-provoking discussions on sustainability, circularity, and urban and architectural quality. #Architecture #UrbanPlanning #Sustainability #Circularity #ArchitecturalQuality #GlobalCollaboration #helsinkizurich #Arcplus #Zurich #Shanghai #Innovation #DesignExcellence #BetterCityBetterLife

HZ’s very own Mirjam Niemeyer, along with Reto Pfenninger, lead a design studio at ZHAW Architektur, Gestaltung und Bauingenieurwesen focusing on urban development in the “Limmatstadt”. Very inspiring student work! #Stadtentwicklung #UrbanDevelopment #Städtebau #UrbanDesign #Architektur #Architecture

helsinkizurich’s Sevim recently led a compelling discussion on gender-sensitive planning and architecture in Bern. This crucial dialogue sheds light on a topic our diverse team has long been deeply engaged with across all our projects. #VereinLares #Gendergerecht #Gendersensible #GenderSensitiveDesign #InclusiveArchitecture #UrbanInclusion #GenderEquality #DesignForAll #GenderEquity #FeministUrbanism #DiverseSpaces #EquitableDesign #WomenInArchitecture #SocialJusticeDesign #AccessibleCities #IntersectionalDesign #EmpowermentThroughDesign #UrbanGenderGap #inclusivedesign #CradletoCradle

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.

We take a look at the Manegg district.” and then discusses with representatives of the business community and developers, as well as our colleague Sevim as an architect and resident, whether the Manegg neighborhood is really the high-quality living space that was desired at the start of planning over ten years ago. #paneldiscussion #openhousezurich #manegg
