  • Hardau I is being rebuilt for 71 million francs

    Hardau I is being rebuilt for 71 million francs

    The aging Hardau I housing estate is located between Hardstrasse and the striking residential towers of Hardau II. It has existed since 1964 and was designed by the architect Eberhard Eidenbenz. Today’s 80 apartments are small-scale with a modest standard of fit-out. Noise protection, energy efficiency and accessibility leave a lot to be desired. Since the area has potential to be used and more family apartments can be built as a result, the City of Zurich has decided to replace it.

    In 2018, the Office for Buildings of the City of Zurich selected the winning project by means of an architecture competition: Graber Pulver Architekten AG won over the jury with their “Laurel & Hardy” project. Two structures of different shapes and heights are planned. The six-storey courtyard building is clearly separated from the Hardau park. A seven-storey building block complements the existing block edge along Hardstrasse. Most of the apartments in the courtyard are oriented on three sides.

    122 predominantly spacious rental apartments are planned for residents with low to medium incomes. Single rooms, studios and music practice rooms can be rented individually. Areas for services and a personal registration office are also being built along Hardstrasse on the ground floor. In addition, a kindergarten, studios and a youth shop of the Open Youth Work Zurich (OJA) are planned at Hardaupark. Together with the existing Hardau high-rises, which mostly comprise smaller apartments, a well-mixed urban housing supply is to be created.

    At Hardau I, energy parameters of the Minergie-P standard in the sense of the 2000-watt society have top priority: Nevertheless, only the construction on the noise-polluted Hardstrasse is certified according to the Minergie-P-Eco standard. Because no controlled ventilation is installed in the quieter courtyard building. The mobility concept provides for a neighborhood with little cars: The number of parking spaces will be significantly reduced to 31 instead of the previous 249. Energy is generated directly on the property by a photovoltaic system planned and financed by the city of Zurich’s electricity company. So that the electricity produced on the roofs of the property can be used on site, tenants and property developers form a self-consumption community.

  • The old spinning mill in Turgi becomes a commercial and industrial center

    The old spinning mill in Turgi becomes a commercial and industrial center

    Limmatkraftwerke AG wants to turn the listed old cotton mill in the center of Turgi into a modern commercial complex by leasing 7000 square meters of space for offices, studios, production or storage in the central and western parts of the building. The premises can be rented from April 1st. In a media release from the owner Limmatkraftwerke AG, a subsidiary of Regionalwerke AG Baden , it is said that the tenants could design and expand the rooms according to their needs, as far as this is possible on site.

    "We would like to see a lively and inspiring mix of various commercial and industrial sectors in the Turgi spinning mill," said Martin Schoop, Chairman of the Board of Directors, who lives in Turgi himself. He wants to promote the character of a modern economic center in Turgi by transferring part of the income for the promotion of Turgi. Schoop: "Part of the rent is used to feed a fund that is supposed to promote this sense of community."

    The spinning mill, which was built in 1826 and was the largest spinning company in Switzerland until 1858, is located in the center of Turgi and is easily accessible. According to the announcement, there are enough parking spaces available and the spinning mill is within walking distance of Turgi train station.

    The redesign also pays attention to sustainability. two parking spaces are to be equipped with charging stations for electric vehicles. The building is to be supplied with district heating from the KVA Turgi and in future it will again draw electricity from the neighboring hydropower plant operated by Limmatkraftwerke AG.

    Limmatkraftwerke AG see the purchase as a strategic decision. Schoop: “We operate one of our power plants right next to the spinning mill building. Thanks to the purchase of the spinning mill, we can also ensure the operation of this power plant in the long term. ”As the owner, the use of the building can be optimally coordinated with the operation of the power plant.
