On a former industrial area that was dominated by large factories with shed roofs, a new residential neighborhood is planned / The project acknowledges the history of the location through its architectural formulation which gives the school its specific identity / In the big, three story school building, day care and kindergarten are directly accessible from the outside through individual entrances, while the primary school on the first floor and the middle school on the second floor are each accessed by an individual staircase from the central lobby / On each floor, two large streets act as internal access for the different departments / A sports building with a triple gym and auditorium, built in exposed concrete as a contrast to the metal clad school building, marks the end of the complex towards the railway tracks.

In the historically significant and long inventoried ensemble of a Zug farmstead from the 17th century, a coach house and a military barracks from the 1960s need to be replaced. Two buildings with a new program, a carpenter’s workshop with a restoration studio and a heating center with offices and car shelter, will be recreated. Their position and striking roof shape, a striking concrete chimney and the building material wood in contemporary use and careful detailing characterize the new buildings. Two large window openings in the gable ends of the studio are formulated as actual “shop windows” that give the ensemble a give a specific character that is visible from afar.
