The topography of the terrain, which slopes downwards towards Lake Hallwill, the desirable view and also the close proximity of the developed neighbourhood led to a compact building that is modulated in parallel to the slope’s contours. Its powerful formulation creates an identity-forming location within the quarter. The exterior appearance reflects its inner organisation, which zones the programme into different spatial layers. Special significance is given to the cross-sectional solutions, which are developed on the basis of a split-level typology and make an exciting spatial sequence tangible from the entrance hall on the slope side to the lakeside projections. The main levels are closely intertwined with each other, while the three storeys are gently interlaced. The section picks up on the theme of the slope and reveals a distinctive lighting guidance inside the building, which has an exterior of washed in-situ cast concrete.
