Urban Living,
Smartly Realized

What you can expect:

  • 53 unique rental apartments with exceptional floor plans
  • Studios for vibrant diversity
  • Direct access through green inner courtyards
  • Generous ceiling heights for an airy living experience
  • Sustainable construction with the reuse of the existing building structure
  • Extensions in timber construction – ecological and stylish
  • Shared rooftop terrace and communal room as a place for social interaction

The apartments are intentionally different from the traditional family housing offerings in the area and are aimed at people who seek something special: singles, couples, creatives, urban nomads – all those who enjoy being at the heart of life, while still valuing retreats with character.

A building with two faces:
The existing aluminum façade tells the story of the building, while the new wooden elements exude warmth and modernity. This architectural fusion creates an exciting living environment with a strong identity.
