Residential development Alemannengasse

The residential development on Alemannengasse offers a different urban form of living on the 8,000-square-meter former Warteck premises, ranging from studios to terraced housing. The design of the buildings and outdoor spaces responds to the urban structures existing in the Wettstein neighborhood:

For example, three five-story buildings on Fischerweg are connected in a U-shape with the existing development dating back to the industrialization period of the last third of the 19th century. To the east, they form a generous inner court which – with its tall vegetation – serves mainly as an open visual space for the surrounding apartments.

Along Alemannengasse, adjacent to the court buildings, is a three-story terraced house structure, slightly recessed from the building line and slightly angled. It is accessed in the north via a playing street. From there, one can sense the adjoining park landscape, whose full generosity is felt when viewed from the raised ground floor and the upper building levels of the city houses. In the south, the private front gardens characterize the development.

The adjacent traingular square with access to the neighborhood parking lot is utilized as a semi-public meeting zone. Maples trees, marl surfaces and paved areas give the square an urban character. An additional terraced house cube shields off this extension of the street space toward Peter-Rot-Strasse.
