The volume of the planning contract is 3.7 million Swiss francs.
Wohnen am Stadtpark is designed as a building complex with contemporary and affordable flats for older people. The concept by Liechti Graf Zumsteg Architekten envisages a two-storey base with concrete elements housing the restaurant and nursing rooms. Four upper floors for the flats for the elderly will be built in timber. According to the city administration’s information on the project, the new building will “meet the requirements of a healthy and ecological construction method according to Minergie-P ECO and be certified accordingly”. The completion of the new retirement centre is planned for 2026.
