  • New construction of the sports center in Witikon

    New construction of the sports center in Witikon

    The multi-sports sports facility Witikon from the 1970s has developed into a frequently used training ground and venue for competitions. In order to meet the strong demand from sports clubs, a new building with a triple sports hall, cloakroom, audience and care infrastructure for the neighboring Looren school complex is to be built in the south-western part of the site by 2027. The project competition for general planners in the open process has ended. The team from Bur Architekten AG and Kuhn Landschaftsarchitekten GmbH from Zurich won with their “Diego” project. According to the competition program, construction costs of CHF 52.5 million are expected for the new replacement building of the sports center (BKP 1-9, excl. reserves). The cost accuracy in the competition phase is +/- 25 percent.

    New sports infrastructure for Witikon
    The winning project convinced the jury with its stringent ecological attitude, which reduces the excavation and thus the balance of greenhouse gas emissions of the new building to an exemplary minimum. To this end, the majority of the spatial program is accommodated above ground in a high timber construction with a small footprint, including the triple sports hall on the 2nd floor. As a result, the sports facility benefits from daylight on all sides and is accessible and visible. On the ground floor are the public sports cloakrooms for the runners, the public sports bar, which can also be used as a canteen, and the separate care facilities for the students of the Looren school complex. The two existing bridges over the Stöckentobelbach ensure short and clear connections between the school area and the new day care in the sports center. The cloakrooms for those using the outdoor sports fields are located on the first floor and can be reached directly via four outside stairs and a surrounding arcade. The space in the basement, which is kept to a minimum, is used for the building services and for a water cistern, which is used to irrigate the playing fields in a circular manner.

    Attractive outdoor spaces for athletes and local residents
    On the south side of the new sports center, an entrance square with shady trees forms an attractive prelude to the new facility. The outdoor sports fields, which are slightly shifted and twisted in relation to one another, divide the area in such a way that a network-like system of paths is created that fits harmoniously into the landscape. The paved areas are limited to the absolute minimum. Furthermore, this sustainable project is characterized by large photovoltaic surfaces on the facade and on the roof and a clever summer heat protection through clever night-time cooling as well as a concept for the implementation of the sponge city principle.

  • Dancing windows in circle 7

    Dancing windows in circle 7

    A total of 16 apartments, 2 offices and an underground car park with 19 parking spaces will be built in a very good location by the end of the 2nd quarter of 2023 – you can be at Bellevue in a good 20 minutes by public transport – at Witikonerstrasse 400 in Stadtzürcher Kreis 7. For the 1341 square meters A multi-family house with four floors is planned for the comprehensive plot area. Seven 2.5 and nine 3.5 room apartments with areas of 66 to 130 square meters are planned. In addition, two offices of 45.8 square meters each will be built. The energy is supplied by geothermal energy.

    With its “dancing windows”, the woman from Graubünden will create a landmark for District 7. The architect was already able to impress with these windows with the “Solitaire” high-rise building in Horw, Lucerne. They are characterized by their irregular arrangement – yet they create harmony and offer the residents a view of the outside from every position. Theus has already completed many prestigious construction projects, including Bank Leu on Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse, the headquarters of World Football Association “Home of FIFA” on the Zürichberg and the five-star hotel “Widder” in Zurich.

    The Quartier Witikon – which is often called the “Quartier on the horizon” – forms district 7 together with Fluntern, Hottingen and Hirslanden. The house with the “dancing windows” is not far from the “Berghaldenstrasse” bus stop – in the immediate vicinity of the local recreation area of the Elefantenbach. The “Looren” sports facility with tennis and football pitches and the center of Witikon with service providers and shops are also within walking distance.

    The residents of Witikon benefit from the south-facing altitude on the slopes of the Adlisberg and Oetlisberg. This brings the quarter little fog and lots of sun as well as a great view. When the weather is nice, the Glarner, Urner and Berner Alps with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau can be seen.

    The LIKA Group AG as total contractor implements the projects with well thought-out processes and thus ensures the high quality standards. Working with qualified architects is essential for the broad portfolio. (see likagroup.ch).
