Clubhouse Zuschg is located in the small town of Schaanwald in Liechtenstein. Completed in 2011, it is the first structure to be built as a part of a large-scale redevelopment of the town center. The goal of the design was to create a building which would be able to integrate into the existing local urban developments. Being conscious of future building developments to come, it was a challenge to form a building which would stand autonomously but not seclusive. From the formation of the building envelope to the details of the facade reliefs, the careful building design allows for it to stand out from its neighbors. The free flowing indoor and outdoor spaces create an illusion of an independent freestanding form. As the design intended the facades play into the local surroundings by framing the mountainous region. South and West facades adapt harmoniously to the environment as the North and East facades follow a more restrictive classical guideline. By walking through the building, the many-facetted and transformable aspects of the architectural physiognomy become clear.
