The axis of the building situated on a slope points with a creative radicality directly over the Thalwil train station to Lake Zurich.

The symmetrical building, which in its design consistency transfers the separation of the building into private halves, like a Renaissance building to its environment and through a series of differentiated surfaces, modulations in the terrain and axial hedge bands, carries the intimacy of the interior spaces to the outside. On the slope side, the building rises from the hill, allowing the architects’ experience with intersecting maisonette configurations to come to full fruition.

The symmetry axis is not only a caesura of the private and non-private, but is enriched as an active building layer with functional spaces such as access and services, which on the balconies carry qualities of the flowing transitional living rooms to the outside as space-dividing cabinets. For clarification, the parking garage in the basement is accessed via a sculptural clinker car lift freestanding in the landscape, to which the stairs meandering in the topography are also attached.
