    Design of the area surrounding the Kronenareal has been finalised

    Back to the roots has prevailed among eight submitted projects in the anonymous competition for the landscaping of the Kronenareal in Dietikon. The project by the two Zurich firms for agricultural architecture, Skala Landschaft Stadt Raum GmbH, and for architecture, S2 Architekten GmbH, received the vote of the competition’s interdisciplinary jury, the administration of the town of Dietikon announced in a press release. The immediate neighbours of the area directly affected by the redesign were also invited to take part in the assessment process as guests.

    According to the press release, Back to the roots impressed with its “sensitive and poetic overall vision of the historic site”. The Kronenareal is interpreted as part of a network of open spaces and connected to the pedestrian zones of the city centre in the east and, in places, to the Reppisch in the west. A fountain is planned as a special element on Zehntenplatz. Hedingerplatz will be designed for multifunctional uses. The pine trees on the site will be integrated into the future design.

    Landscape architect Lars Ruge will present back to the roots at the opening of the competition exhibition. The vernissage will take place on 23 August from 5 pm at the Forum for Urban Development, Innovation and Culture at Zentralstrasse 12 in Dietikon. The event is open to the public. All projects will be exhibited in the forum until 8 September.

  • The winning project for the Stockhornstrasse development has been finalised

    The winning project for the Stockhornstrasse development has been finalised

    Four architectural firms from the Thun region, all with a renowned reputation for architectural excellence, were invited to participate in this prestigious project. Each of these firms collaborated with a landscape architecture firm to provide a comprehensive and holistic vision for the site. Of note was the participation of the “up-and-coming” firm akkurat bauatelier GmbH, which emphasised the diversity and breadth of the competition.

    The designs submitted were characterised by their creative and diverse approaches, which contributed significantly to the decision-making process. After careful consideration, the committee selected the project by brügger architekten AG & extra Landschaftsarchitekten AG as the winner. The winning design impresses with its well thought-out integration into the existing landscape, its high-quality residential design and its visionary interpretation of the future development of Steffisburg.

    A particular focus of this study commission was the seamless and meaningful integration of the new building project into the existing surroundings. The challenge was to harmonise the transition between the open landscape of the floodplain and the densely populated Steffisburg. The winning project masterfully manages to achieve this balance while offering high-quality living space.

    It is important to emphasise that the result of this study commission not only sets the direction for this particular project, but also serves as a source of inspiration for future construction projects in the region.
