Lenzburg
Lenzburg, Switzerland
Two existing buildings on the Ringstrasse are replaced with a long street-accompanying vo-lume. Form, scale and orientation refer to the neighbouring high-rise volumes and also to a nearby highway. The building reacts to the heavy noise pollution with the orientation of the living rooms facing away from the noise source. Appropriately, a covered walkway is propo-sed as a reference to affordable social housing. Furthermore, the outside spatial arrangement reacts to the conditions of place and achieves a strong connection to the building through ge-ometry and materiality. The facade has been developed as a spatial, structured relief and re-fers to the internal load bearing structure. Clinker bricks used as "filling elements" and load bearing plates in various forms lend to the building’s characterful feature. The new compact facade - which is based on a standard acoustic stone - is an innovation, which has been deve-loped in cooperation with Keller brickyards (Pfungen). The new facade system, based on a highly insulated façade, aims to develop a reasonable, long-lasting and robust façade that not in the least fulfill its users needs.
