The baroque Haus zum Kiel is located on Hirschengraben in Zurich's old town. The building exhibited severe subsidence and various damages to the building structure and supporting structure. Timbatec AG was commissioned to examine load transfer methods and define measures for the conversion.
The company BAUFRITZ AG built a building for its Swiss branch in Uetendorf BE. However, the building at Steghalten 6 is clearly more than just an office complex.
In a preferred location, the building offers space for seven exclusive apartments. The modern timber construction meets the MINERGIE-ECO standard. The high requirements for eco-balance and energy consumption are thus fulfilled.
Due to difficult space conditions and expensive soil, the new building was optimally adapted to the plot boundaries. This resulted in the elongated body of the new building, which nestles on the slope.
