Stadthotel Triemli
Re-Use Proposal of a Dormitory
Zurich, Switzerland
2022
Status: competition
Collaborators: Ernst Schubert
Let's imagine a world in which rebuilding and continuing to build are the only options still available to man. How and why should we build at all? We have developed a proposal for one of the three former staff towers of the Triemlispital. Our proposal is based on the one hand on building physics requirements and on the other hand on the question "how we want to live". The tower gets a new dress and a warm jacket. Thus, an open living space now quite diffusely surrounds the small bedrooms of the existing building. The core is occupied by water tanks that serve as a rainwater treatment plant, heat storage for photovoltaics and wastewater treatment plant to supply the house with low-tech. New apartments are created "at half the price".
