For Zug Estates the starting point is clear: the area around the \u201cMetalli\u201d shopping center has become an important meeting place for the city of Zug. In order for the quarter to be able to meet future needs after more than thirty years of existence, it must develop further. To this end, more space is to be created for living, working and leisure. In addition, there should be free spaces and new uses that offer the Zug population real added value.<\/p>
In March of this year, Zug Estates and the city of Zug presented the first result of the joint planning process \u201cMetalli living space\u201d. The jury selected the study by the planning team Hosoya Schaefer Architects, NYX architectes, Lorenz Eugster Landscape Architecture and Urban Development and the Zug office of TEAMverkehr.zug for the future design. According to architect Markus Schaefer, the central idea of this further development project is to detach the "Metalli" from their island existence and to better intertwine them with their urban surroundings.<\/p>

Preserving the tried and tested and at the same time creating a lot of space for new things – this is how the basic idea for the future design of the 30,000 square meter living space \u201cMetalli\u201d in the heart of the city of Zug can be summarized. The results of the competition process are the first step in a multi-year joint development process by<\/p>
The urban development concept of the team around Hosoya Schaefer intends to preserve the majority of today's buildings around the shopping center. A new building is to be added, no more than seventy meters high, on the corner of Baarerstrasse and Metallstrasse. Several existing buildings will also be topped up. Overall, more space is to be created for apartments, hotels, offices, restaurants, shops and other, partly public-oriented uses. A spatial realignment and the demolition of existing buildings in places will create a new town square with space for a wide range of uses on Baarerstrasse on the Bahnhof-Metalli axis.<\/p>
"A defining feature of the new overall concept\u2039 Lebensraum Metalli \u203ais the upgrading of the outside space through more intensive greening across all spaces and along the connecting axes," says Deputy Head of Project Development and Overall Project Manager Florian Diener. Even the roof areas are included in the outdoor space concept and – also a concern of the Zug population – made partially accessible to the public. \u201cThe principle of the glass roofing of the shopping arcade is retained and will be expanded. The area around the Metalli shopping center is a central intersection on the Zug \u2013 Baar axis and an important functional urban space for the population of Zug. In order for it to be able to fulfill this task in the long term, it should be carefully further developed in line with the overall development of the city of Zug over the next few years. In addition to the requirements of the authorities and the landowner, concerns and wishes from the Zug population also flowed into the task for the three planning teams. \u201cWe communicate all project progress transparently, because public acceptance is the be-all and end-all of our project,\u201d adds Diener.<\/p>
From the favored draft of the planning team under the leadership of Hosoya Schaefer Architects, a straightening project is created, which forms the basis for a later development plan. This process phase will take about two years. The first structural measures can therefore take place in 2023 at the earliest. "The final start of construction ultimately also depends on the will of politics and the population," emphasizes Florian Diener. \u25a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
