The program for this openly designed city block in the former industrial area of Schlieren incorporates facilities for the elderly, attractive studio apartments by the park, apartment clusters for experimental forms of living in the tower as well as offices, stores and a cafeteria with a connectible multipurpose room / What the park does on a larger scale, the “rue intérieur” offers to the inside of the block: it connects the very diverse user groups and creates an internal meeting place / The construction with using solid bricks hints at the material’s traditional use for industrial buildings in the Limmat valley and correlates with the open building typology.
