Vogelsang Wetzikon Modernisation

Klargjøring av 12 bygninger

The Vogelsang Wetzikon project involves the modernization of a residential area across three stages, including 12 existing buildings. These buildings, primarily Göhner buildings, are being enlarged with an additional storey to meet contemporary living standards.

Modernisering foretrukket over nybygg

Initial analysis by Implenia showed that modernization was more beneficial than new construction, allowing for the preservation of the historic urban substance typical of the area. This approach integrates the old with the new, maintaining the character of the neighborhood.

Økning fra 110 til 146 boliger

The project will see an increase in the number of flats from 110 to 146. The design incorporates a varied color scheme and an elevational grid, providing unity and connectivity between buildings. Balconies are integrated into this grid, and a mix of textures and colors in the rendered surfaces are maintained.

Strukturelle utfordringer og bærekraft

Structural challenges include demolition works involving pre-cast elements of the Göhner buildings and the use of lean management practices for replacing pipes and electrics. Moreover, the project adheres to the Minergie low-energy standard, emphasizing sustainability without requiring an official label.

Prosjekt ferdigstilt februar 2020

This extensive renovation project, with a construction volume valued at 62 million CHF, started in October 2017 and was completed in February 2020.
