The residential development is located between the historic centre of Alt-Wiedikon and the Binz district. Spread across several buildings, rental flats and various office and commercial spaces have been realised.The flats range from 1.5-room flats to spacious 5.5-room flats.
The building envelope consists of wood-metal windows and, in the opaque areas, ventilated ceramic panels with a profiled surface. Between the storeys, perimeter concrete elements surround the buildings, forming generous balconies or short steps in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Metal railings with expanded metal infill serves as fall protection.
