With Letzigarten, a residential setting is taking shape in Zurich-Altstetten that precisely links urban density with high-quality open space. A continuous communal garden forms the spatial centre of the development, which is conceived as an ensemble of three contemporary buildings comprising a total of 376 rental apartments. It serves not only as a place to spend time, but also establishes spatial coherence and a consistent quality of open space throughout.
The positioning of the buildings and the orientation of the apartments are closely aligned with this open space. As a result, a large proportion of the units benefit from unobstructed views – both into the shared garden and towards the wider landscape, including the Uetliberg.
The residential offering is broadly conceived and includes a range of typologies: compact units, family apartments and more community-oriented forms of living address diverse needs and ways of life. Commercial spaces on the ground floor introduce an everyday presence that contributes to the vitality of the neighbourhood.
