he first stage of the two-stage design competition for the development of the site at Badenerstrasse 571 was recently judged. The submitted projects demonstrate that this site’s potential lies not only in its location, but also in the question of how we want to build and live in the future.

Together with the client Nest Sammelstiftung, we developed a vision and mission statement at an early stage based on our Clever philosophy, which form the basis for the programme of the design competition. It was particularly exciting to see how intensively the teams engaged with the key future themes – themes that not only form the essential components of the study but also feature in our daily project work.

Sufficiency
Closed material cycles
Community and shared use

We are providing advisory support to the sustainably and ethically eco-oriented client throughout the competition process and until completion. For the competition, we have devised a process and competition structure that rely on collaboration between different disciplines.

We are now looking forward with anticipation to the second stage.
