House Uto – On the Path to a New Life
The ‘House Uto’, a listed building well known in the city Zurich, is showing impressive progress in its refurbishment.
The historic façade is being carefully cleaned and prepared for the new coat of paint, which will match the original colour scheme. The new dormer windows will have copper roofing. The substructure for reusing the original roof tiles is already in place.
The sampling of the cladding for the soffit of the extension is currently in progress. The new, generously sized windows have been installed and create bright, friendly rooms under the roof.
During the dismantling of the old letterbox system on the exterior façade, various masonry layers came to light that bear witness to the earlier building fabric.
