Garden city – city and lots of nature

Seebach ZH, October 2021

The new apartments on the Seebach city limits attract with their location to a direct green belt.

It all started with a concept competition: Think Architecture AG and Koch Kommunikation AG won the race from three participating architecture firms: “It was a successful attempt to integrate marketing into the project from the very beginning and not later in the process,” remembers Corinne Ruoss , Team Leader Development at Mobimo. The outside space of the condominiums was given a very high weight. The floor plans are modern, functional and flexible. The apartments attract with a generous outside space of at least 14 square meters and a fireplace. The living space climate in the building (Eco) as well as the energy balance (Minergie) play a central role: “The building is planned in accordance with the Minergie Eco standard. A spacious staircase is naturally illuminated with daylight. And the vertically structured wooden facade with wooden slats is a particular eye-catcher. The balconies are integrated into the facade, so that when viewed from the outside, there is a unity, ”adds Ruoss.

In-house electricity and e-mobility
A photovoltaic system on the roof generates in-house electricity, and the parking spaces in the underground car park are intended for e-mobility. Based on the “garden city”, the use of natural materials is planned. Native plants are provided for good biodiversity, there is a butterfly meadow on the balcony roofs (intensive greening), and only a few sealed areas are planned. There is a flowing transition to the surroundings with soft shapes, trees and bushes. Seen in this way, the estate fits perfectly with Mobimo’s selection of project locations, with an urban or suburban location and good access to public transport: “In the implementation, convincing architecture and a high standard of construction are important to us, and we also pay close attention to sustainability … and yes: A good price-performance ratio is ultimately decisive for the response on the market. “
