“Trackside Tribune” project at Zollstrasse in Zurich: facade design

The three new buildings comprise 140 apartments, as well as a number of commer-cial enterprises and a restaurant at ground level. The impermeable building enve-lope consists essentially of wood-and-metal window frames and parapets on the upper levels. At ground level, the envelope is rendered in floor-to-floor metal post-and-beam façades. Visually striking exterior support elements of prefab concrete brick are joined to one another via concrete slab elements at each floor level. The project was certified in accordance with the DGNB sustainability standard and planned in accordance with the Minergie^® Eco standard.
