196 Flats in Wetzikon

The 'Vogelsang' housing estate is situated in Wetzikon-Kempten, located between forests and farming land. The project aims to modernize existing buildings and construct new ones, providing a total of 196 flats. The entire project is divided into different construction stages, identified as construction sites A, B, D, and sites C and E.

Restoration and New Storeys

In areas A, B, and D, the project involves the restoration of buildings with the addition of a new storey where applicable. Area A includes 32 apartments, whereas areas B and D encompass 114 apartments, with 78 existing and 36 new storeys being added. Building systems such as heating, ventilation, plumbing, and electrical systems are all being completely overhauled due to their old age.

50 New Units on Sites C and E

For sites C and E, the existing buildings are being demolished to make way for new residential blocks. This part of the project will add 50 new residential units, focusing primarily on 3.5-room apartments. The project ensures a variety of residence types and allows for the ownership of entire floors.

Specialist Planners and Minergie Standard

All planning phases, including the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical systems, are being handled by specialist planners. Additionally, the project aims to achieve the Minergie standard P and includes the installation of a regenerative heat generation system using geothermal probe heat pumps.

The total construction volume amounted to 8.2 million CHF, with the building owner being Credit Suisse AG and Dachtler Partner AG Architekten Chebbi Thomet Bucher serving as the architect.
