Flumserei, Flums

Under the “Flumserei” brand, the 10,000 m2 site of the former Spoerry spinning mill will be subdivided into various product worlds and will be adapted to the new needs of offices, services and industry by means of structural interventions.

The Innobas area has the potential to become a work and meeting center for Flums and the region because of its large usable spaces. OOS was asked to lead an interdisciplinary team and develop a redevelopment concept for the campus of the former spinning mill. Under the Flumserei brand, the large factory building will be reawakened to new life and made ready for new users and their needs using an intelligent space concept.

The commercial and office facilities will be functionally equipped and based on a flexible space plan. The public rooms offer gathering space for the clubs and local residents of Flums. With the Flumserei, the entire Sarganserland-Werdenberg region will be strengthened. OOS previously completed test planning for the former owner, Spoerry AG, and guided the redefinition of its use from the very beginning.

ZPA Lessingstrasse, Zurich
Hospitality, 2019
OOS has transformed the old building structure Lessingstrasse 11-17 with different levels of structural intervention into a progressive location. The independent project captivates by its characteristic spatial structures. OOS has combined this diversity with strategic planning and targeted renovation to create a new unit.
An old building fabric with varying levels, small-scale floor subdivisions, diverse spatial structures and building systems – the initial situation of this project was highly complex. But this is precisely where the great potential of the property lies. With targeted and unpretentious interventions, OOS succeeded in transforming the old building structure into an independent, progressive location while at the same time preserving a piece of history for the city of Zurich.
In a feasibility study, OOS worked with the owner to define the visions, target groups and future uses and determined the depth of intervention. The aim of the planned refurbishment and upgrading was to preserve the unique effect of the building structure for future generations. 
Accordingly, interventions were only made where they were necessary for earthquake and fire protection. While the roofs were renovated for energy efficiency, the façades were only insulated on the inside in the area of the window parapets. Externally, the appearance has only been changed by demolitions to clean up the structure.
Inside, the stairwells have been freed from fixtures and, with the new lighting concept, contribute to the strong appearance of the property. Where possible, the different surfaces and structures have been left as they are, and subtle interventions have been used to bind them together into an atmospherically coherent unit. In addition to the staircases, the exposed sandstone retaining wall is a unique element that will have a strong influence on future tenant improvements.

Claudia House of Sounds, Winterthur Töss
Culture, 2012
Musicians and music lovers working and creating on 10’000m2 in the CLAUDIA – House of Sounds. OOS has been entrusted with the entire process from the positioning to the design development and realization of the eight stories building.
On the basis of transdisciplinary workshops and in close cooperation with the client our team has worked on the vision, brand values and usage conception for this ambitious project. Located at a prominent place directly at the highly frequented highway, rehearsal rooms, music studios, club, retail, event techniques and gastronomy will be gathered together in the same building forming a new cluster.
The positioning and the brand values as well as the programmation have been transformed into an authentic future-looking design concept. Like a front-stage, the façade will have an obvious impact on the appearance of the building. Using the reference of a stage, it will be calm at daytime and glamorous by night.
Inside (backstage) a hybrid mix of private and semi-private rooms bring opportunities for creativity and improvisation. Since autumn 2012 the house of sounds has become a lively place with interesting stories and illustrious guests.
