Section B

In the restructuring of the landmark-protected building on the corner of Hackenstrasse and Hotterstrasse, particular attention was paid to the façade and the roof, but also to important parts of the load-bearing floors in close collaboration with the conservation authorities. This included especially the restoration of the original elements on the ground floor as well as the repainting of the plaster areas taking into account the richness of the façade design. Additionally, an entrance to the passage system of the “Hofstatt” was integrated in the existing façade structure.

The added glass shelf completes the historical building and includes the historical atriums in the building development in such a way that on each floor they are surrounded by an apartment. The exciting interplay between the historical old building and the transparent new building is thus augmented additionally by vistas and perspectives within the individual apartments across and beyond these atriums.
