Burckhardt Partner architects delivered this sophisticating residential development. The façade’s overall look with thin vertical wood strips in the imposing structure is unified harmoniously into the surroundings and signals a transition from a rural-traditional building style to something more modern.

The designer based their task on the following concept: fine scalability of the 4 buildings, the low, and two-storey plus attic dimensioned structures each contain 5 residences. Each resident dwells in an attic apartment with a larger roof terrace, 5 ½, 4 ½, 3 ½ and 2 ½-room apartments with large balconies or garden terraces.

Implying the strong, well-developed light and shade contrasts which comes through the sweeping veranda, the designer intended to build a direct relationship with the mighty hipped and gabled rooflines of the surrounding buildings. The settlement roofs have been extensively planted and act as a temporary catch basin for the rainfall.

About 30 resident accupied this apartmente which located in the heart of Jegenstorf. Around a funnel-shaped, multifunctional inner court, six residential buildings face each other in a special proximity suitable for the site. Their arrangement takes the estate structure into consideration and allows for transition paths and views typical for the village.
