Case Study – Blaues Haus – 1980
- Oberwil
- A hard shell with a sensitive side: a light blue body rests on the upper edge of Oberwil, surrounded by lush greenery. Behind the protective shell of sand-lime brick, a glass façade opens to the south, supported by slender steel columns that free the space from load-bearing walls.
- This creates a bright connection between inside and outside, capturing warmth and conveying generosity.
- Retreat, calm, and a sense of shelter hide behind the massive envelope – a balance of strength and softness.
