Das 100 jährige Haus mitten in einem Zürcher Quartier wurde komplett umgebaut und saniert. Die Wohnungen im Regelgeschoss wurden mit einer neuen Küche und Badezimmer ausgestattet. Das Haus wird durch einen ebenerdigen Neuen Zugang erschlossen und mit einem Lift ausgestattet. Die Mietwohnungen erhalten neue Verandas. Die Eigentümer entschlossen sich die 2 Dachwohnungen zusammenzulegen um eine grosse Dachwohnung zu haben, wobei der ganze Dachraum bis zum First genutzt wurde. Dadurch entstand einen grosszügigen Wohnraum. In seinem Zentrum befindet sich eine Kücheninsel mit Cheminée. Eine Lichtdurchflutete Loggia verbindet den Küchenbereich und die Terrasse Eine freistehende Wendeltreppe bildet das 2 Element im Wohnraum das eine Galerie im Dachgeschoss erschliesset wo sich eine weitere Terrasse befindet wo man den Sonnenuntergang über der Stadt geniessen kann.

First I worked in a Zurich office with large infrastructure projects. There I learned a lot about complex planning and cooperation with government departments. During my master studies in Geneva, I discovered my passion for renovating small and medium-sized residential buildings. I love to integrate new elements into old structures and create something completely new without denying the old. During my exchange semester in Mozambique, I learned a lot about my flexibility to easily find my way even in less structured environments.
In 2022 we bought a house and moved with our family to Portugal. So I know all obstacles. Sometimes there are shortcuts and sometimes one has to go patiently all the way through the bureaucracy.
I can help you with the following and more:
Thesis Diploma with distinction
How is the connection of two identities possible without losing their independence and character? On Ilha de Mozambique today there are two different structures. One structure “Stone- Town” with European origin and character. The other “Makuti-Town”, which has its origin in the traditional African village. One focus of the work was the densification and reconstruction of a neighborhood in StoneTown. The concept was to provide the residents with living and working space, as well as water connections. For this I constructed a module. This module can then be purchased by the residents and filled as needed. The module consists of a commerce part that aligns with the street. This part is constructed ready to use, but leaves a large opening that the operator fills differently depending on the commerce.

Redesign of bus terminal and station square
Processing open project competition 1st prize
The municipality of Schwerzenbach started a competition for the redesign of the station square. This included the improvement of the bus stop situation for the VBG and VBZ buses. This task included the design of a bus roof that would provide passengers with a dry waiting area. The bus roof extends over the length of the stopping edges and complements the situation at Schwerzenbach station with its concrete architecture. The ribbed roof of the new bus terminal grows tree-like from disc-shaped supports that follow the laterally offset stopping areas.

The 100 year old house in the middle of a Zurich neighborhood was completely rebuilt and renovated. The apartments on the regular floor were equipped with a new kitchen and bathroom. The house is accessed by a ground-level new entrance and equipped with an elevator. The rental apartments will receive new verandas. The owners decided to combine the 2 attic apartments to have one large attic apartment, using all the attic space up to the ridge. This created a spacious living area. In its center is a kitchen island with fireplace. A light-flooded loggia connects the kitchen area and the terrace. A free-standing spiral staircase forms the second element in the living space, which opens up a gallery in the attic where there is another terrace where you can enjoy the sunset over the city.

The house on Guggachstrasse is one of many terraced houses in a Zurich neighborhood. The first floor was more connected with the garden by new opening and inside was created a spacious cooking and dining area. The attic was newly transformed into a new sleeping area for the family. In the attic space, a sculptural closet was introduced that divides the space. This closet also houses plumbing and the existing fireplace. The room was clad in birch plywood panels and white decking lists divide the space and tie in the existing beam.
In the basement, the old garage and laundry room were converted into a studio. The studio is divided into two areas The living area and the sleeping area. The living area is oriented towards the large window and the garden, while the sleeping area is more secluded and is entirely clad in birch plywood, reminiscent of a bunk room.

The two-family house is located in a working settlement in Zurich Orlikon.
The house was rebuilt for a large family. The first floor was transformed into an open space structure, all partition walls were removed and a spaciousness was created. A room extension was created by an annex. The extension is built in wood and is kept the same on all sides. The structure is reminiscent of a garden pavilion. The difference in level to the main house gives the user the feeling of sitting in the garden.
The windows can be pushed up. This creates a horizontal counter effect to the vertical structure.
