Multi-family residential building, Kasinostrasse, Zurich
LOW-RISE BUILDING. The unusual would not be unusual without the ordinary. The apartment blocks on Kasinostrasse reflect this interdependence. With a church as a neighbour, respect is required – trying to outdo it would be out of place. Externally, the building is not ostentatious, but rather modest. Hanging gardens connect the buildings. With maximum and minimum window areas arranged in a square. The floor plans are a sequence of paths and spaces. Without any overlap. But with extraordinary spatial depths. One should not, after all, get used to habits.
