Renovation and conversion of the Cinema Rex within the building complex of Puls Thun, Rex Thun.
Over an area of almost 150 hectares in the locality of Andermatt, the year-round tourist resort Andermatt Swiss Alps is being built. Hotels as well as apartments, an 18-hole golf course and a sports center will provide housing and recreation for up to 3000 guests. Despite the substantial size of the resort, the goal is to create a sustainable, high-quality tourist experience.
This commercial building on Eichstrasse in the prosperous southern section of Zurich was erected in the 1950s and was at the time awarded the distinction of “Good building of the city of Zurich”. The project for the conversion of the structure into a multi-functional complex with residential, office and commercial space embodies the need for new urban living spaces.
Hundreds of meters high, where the air grows thinner and the heart beats faster, is a place of senses, fragrances and views – the BarRouge.
The term “loft living” conjures associations of open floor plans in spacious, airy rooms. What makes the idea of living above the rooftops of Berlin in the Prenzlauerberg district so captivating is not so much the flair of the converted industrial facilities but the spatial variety created by the composition of rooms in a room.
