Exposed concrete<\/a> surfaces are enlivened by colourful accents at this residential complex in Switzerland<\/a>, designed by local architecture studio Buchner Br\u00fcndler Architekten<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Named R\u00f6tiboden, the development of eleven terraced houses in varying sizes is located to the north of W\u00e4denswil in central Switzerland, in a formerly agricultural area that has recently been subject to redevelopment.<\/p>\n

Responding to the client’s desire for a strong visual identity, Buchner Br\u00fcndler Architekten<\/a> finished the otherwise austere poured concrete blocks with vibrant details such as gutters, balustrades, awnings and staircases in shades of blue, green, yellow and orange.<\/p>\n

“The project was developed in collaboration with the landowner, who grew up nearby on a farm,” co-founder Daniel Buchner told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“High demand for residential property and speculation in the real estate sector have seen the northern slope of W\u00e4denswil dominated by profit-driven development projects that offer neither social value nor character,” Buchner added.<\/p>\n

“The initiator’s wish was to create a place with a strong identity, where families on smaller budgets could live together. Or, as she beautifully put it at the start: ‘I wish for a place that sings’.”<\/p>\n

The R\u00f6tiboden development is comprised of two rectilinear volumes that are slightly rotated to follow the contours of the site. The space in between the two has been used to create a public square planted with a tree, described by the studio as its “communal heart”.<\/p>\n

“All outdoor spaces \u2013 gardens, courtyards and terraces \u2013 are connected horizontally and vertically and are available for use by the entire community,” explained Buchner.<\/p>\n
