In the future, high-rise buildings in the city of Zurich should contribute more to quality urban development. As a member of the test planning team around E2A and KCAP, we ensured that open space and landscape concerns were taken into account. On the one hand, it was necessary to specify those areas where high-rise buildings could enrich the cityscape. In addition, different performance requirements should be met depending on the height. These include, for example, outdoor spaces with a high quality of stay or consideration of the local climate.

In a team with Van de Wetering, Basler & Hofmann and Albprojekte we developed new perspectives for the urban spaces around the main station/Central in Zurich. Challenging and also visionary, but quite realistic, a lot of attractive space around the most frequented place in Switzerland with almost 1 million pedestrians daily and about 400 streetcars every hour is freed up. Nevertheless, access and delivery remain guaranteed. There will be space for more than 150 additional trees, access to the Limmat and Sihl rivers, unsealed, green and climate-sensitive open spaces, safe bicycle routes and attractive places to stay.

Loosely planted trees frame an open clearing. They provide views to the inside and outside and along with ecologically high-quality areas protect the sensitive site. Toward Thurgauerstrasse, a spacious and inviting entrance area opens up. The most actively used area is located near the “Alten Schützenhaus.” All the planned participatory processes take place here.

The new community center building gives rise to a plaza situation that is linked to the typical entrance zones and connects the historical and the new. A wide staircase with seating steps connects it with the upper level of the plaza in front of the Wehrlinhalle. This large plaza remains free as a place for taking a break or holding events. The pavement pattern invites playing and makes it into something special.

In redesigning the surroundings of the building extension for the new senior citizen and nursing home, the focus is on creating a clear address for the new building and giving the open spaces nearby a new quality.

Removing the projecting roof that covers the square today facilitates the historically unique opportunity to present the “Jo Siffert Fountain” by Jean Tinguely on the square anew in a dignified setting. We are pleased about this success in cooperation with the traffic planners of Basler&Hofmann and the Atelier für Städtebau Van der Wetering.

In cooperation with wild bär heule architecture office and the investors of the ASGA Pensionskasse, we succeeded in winning the planning competition for the Pelikan site. The buildings with their surrounding meadow carpet are nestled gently within the varied topography of the hillside. A centrally situated courtyard constitutes the main address of the site. Through the spaces between the buildings, the gaze wanders towards the magnificent Glarus Alps in the distance.

The “Jägerpark” residential project in Dresden for Jägerpark Wohnungsbaugesellschaft mbH (housing association) has taken another step toward its realization. Since creating the lizard habitat in the spring of 2017, we have meanwhile completed the in-depth preliminary planning in the course of the B Plan process in cooperation with Tchoban Voss Architekten, IPROconsult, and GRAS * Gruppe Architektur & Stadtplanung.

Successful test planning for the development of the center of Gümligen in cooperation with Van de Wetering Atelier für Städtebau GmbH and mrs partner AG. A municipal center characterized by site-specific urbanity and a sense of scale, where people not only “live,” “work,” and “shop,” but also “enjoy” and “realize” themselves and “encounter” one another.

The construction of the second bridge over the Hinterrhein River is progressing. The landscape remains dormant, while the bridge builders are at work. The first quadropod was mounted on supports on January 31, and the first bridge girders on February 8.

The preliminary planning for the new Promenade II has been completed and offerings for recreation, culture, experiencing nature, and sport are being elaborated in more detail. The funding applications, including for the new family house, should be submitted by the end of the year.

The design concepts for the ten subprojects in the Botanical Gardens, from the rehabilitations of the pond and paths to the new ornamental garden, have largely been completed. The first construction measures begin starting in 2018.

An open, uncluttered square with loose groupings of trees forms the new point of arrival at the train station. The bus station is given a simple, elegant roof. The transport connections are clarified and elaborated in detail. The distinctive avenue becomes an open, macadamized promenade. On the east side, a third row of trees is added to create a comfortable sidewalk area in front of the businesses.

Sauerbruch Hutton’s new construction at experimenta is taking shape. As of September, we will begin constructing the open-air facilities: the new, spacious square becomes a tableau for the ensemble of buildings and transports the architectural language of forms of splitters in the form of ground inlays and seating areas in the open air.

The handover of Eigerplatz to the population of the city of Bern took place in connection with car-free Sunday. The newly designed square has been welcomed with great interest.

The open-space concept for the Wagerenhof in Uster supports the sensitive integration of the new buildings planned into the existing park space. Existing considerations regarding the upgrading of the grounds are taken into account as well as the structures that already exist. Generally speaking, the park-like character of the site as a whole has to be protected and developed further in a cautious manner.

Demolition and road construction measures began as of September 2017. Following the renovation of the train station building, the new train station forecourt will be completed in time for the opening of the Landesgartenschau (regional garden show) in spring 2019.

After 6 years of planning and construction, the Helmut-Zilk-Park opened at Vienna’s main train station.

Holzer Kobler Architekten have gently nestled the residential buildings into the hillside. The topography and the existing vegetation shape the outdoor space. A lawn with flowers stretches between the edge of the forest and the buildings as a continuous carpet. Tall meadow grasses shield the private sitting areas. A playground is situated at the edge of the forest.

A new Marktplatz (market square) will shape the center of the village of Entlebuch in future. The open space of the square will provide true added value for the village community. In close proximity to the village church, three multistory buildings are grouped around the future square. Along with our partner Roman Hutter Architekten GmbH from Lucerne, we are pleased about the success in the competition.

Since October 2, 2017, buses and post vehicles have once again been able to drive over the newly designed bus station. Construction work on the areas of the square and the planting of trees are now still pending.

The enlarged Schanz scented rose garden in Rapperswil celebrated its opening on Monday, September 18. The centerpiece of the expansion of the garden is an oval flowerbed with an inlay in the ground in the shape of a rose. As a counterpart to it, the existing fountain was moved to the entrance area.

Following the creation of the park maintenance program in 2013, the city of Geneva executed the design elements defined in the ideal plan in stages. It has now arranged a flower garden, which opened at the beginning of the summer, in front of the manor house, to the delight of park visitors. The perennials that have been planted bloom throughout the seasons of the year.

The IGA Berlin is slowly coming to its end. Our small themed garden, “Beach,” is also enjoying lively interest in the fall.

Based on our master plan for rehabilitating the Swiss Garden, the art mile will be the first element realized: From the new Belvedere district, a wide gravel area invites visitors into the Swiss Garden! Only the young plane trees and artworks are still missing.

The official groundbreaking for the RhB’s Zweite Hinterrheinbrücke (Second Hinterrhein Bridge) between Reichenau and Bonaduz took place at the end of May. For the widening of tracks at the Reichenau-Tamin train station, the over 8-meter-tall retaining wall was torn down and the slope was designed with a steep, well-structured scarp face. A terraced, sparsely planted zone will be created at the transition to the forest.

The new buildings are grouped around a generous outdoor space with an old stock of trees. In particular the large pines with the grassy ground already shape the character of the dry hillside location and form a basic park-like structure today. They will be supplemented with multi-stemmed flowering shrubs with edible berries, which provide seasonal accents with their blossoms in the spring and with their fall foliage later in the year.

The municipal library in Heidenheim, with its generous leisure areas, is taking shape. For the opening celebration on November 10, 2017, the planting with picturesque birch trees will also have been realized.

A new district is being created on the outskirts of the town. The urban block surrounds a generous open space, which provides a contrast to the urban surroundings as a “garden courtyard.” Green entrance zones on the new Stichstrasse to the west shield the ground floor from the public sphere. Toward Furttalpromenade and the bus station the façades are designed in an open and urban manner so as to ensure the greatest possible utilization flexibility for the businesses located there.

Along with KL Architekten, we are honored to have garnered first prize in the competition for planning the center of Bütschwil. The new design for the Bahnhofstrasse contributes to making the planned building development a strong address and enhances the center between the train station and the center of the village.

The Arboretum once again shines with its old glory and a new splendor. The park is one of the oldest collections of woody plants in Switzerland and part of the lower lake basin. The lakeshore area has been handed over to the population after nine months of construction.

Over ten years ago, our winning competition design was realized in a simplified form. The social fabric around the square has, however, now changed. It is now being redesigned anew to be more attractive and respond to current needs - as a PAUSE on Kurfürstendamm.

On Saturday, July 8, 2017, the Hager Partner AG team battled for victory along with 31 other soccer teams from the field of architecture.

Am Stadteingang nach Grand-Saconnex wird ein neuer Stadtplatz entstehen. Das neue Quartier, das sich hier entwickeln wird, liegt in einem grosszügigen Park, der an die bestehenden Grünräume der Stadt anknüpft und diese fortsetzt. Gemeinsam mit group8 Architekten aus Genf konnten wir mit unserem Projekt die Jury überzeugen.

The municipality of Petershagen near Berlin awarded our design in cooperation with the firm huber staudt architekten first prize. Am Dorfanger will greatly expand the existing school building and provide new sport and break areas and open spaces that are connected with one another via a central promenade.

A new urban square will be created at the entrance to the municipality of Grand-Saconnex. The new district that will develop here is situated in a large park that is linked to the existing green spaces in the municipality and serves as a continuation of them. Our project in cooperation with group8 Architekten from Geneva succeeded in convincing the jury.

Sauerbruch Hutton hat die Experimenta gewonnen. Wir haben dazu den Aussenraum entworfen. Der spektakuläre Science Dome steht auf einer ehemaligen Kraneninsel. Der platzartige Aussenraum geht mit Treppen zum Wasser. Splitterförmige Intarsien in der Platzfläche schaffen eine Verbindung zwischen alter und neuer Experimenta. Dahinter liegt eine ruhige, parkartige Landschaft.

After winning a workshop process in cooperation with Büro nps tchoban voss Architekten, we are now able to realize a new residential district with 580 housing units on an area comprising 100,000 m2.

In the open-space-planning competition for the Freiham landscape park in Munich, the jury selected us for the second stage of the competition. A spacious, open clearing surrounded by woods forms the basic framework for a landscape park site that can be used in various ways. All the works from the second stage of the competition were discussed with citizens in a moderated dialogue on November 25, 2016.

After nine years of planning and construction, the Rhine River Promenade is now in its first summer! In the morning, it is respectively still calm; in the afternoon, it is heavily frequented by pedestrians and - in fine weather - by bathers. The fish spawning grounds have been accepted, but no beavers have yet been observed.

We are happy to have jointly won the competition for the addition to the Staats- and Stadtbibliothek (state and city library) in Augsburg along with Max Dudler Architekten. The historical park area forms the framework for the campus area of the library being created and the neighboring school. Green inner courtyards form a calm oasis between the old and new buildings.

The garden of the Musée d' Ethnographie in Geneva has received an international award. The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Design and Architecture is recognizing the garden of the museum within the framework of an international traveling exhibition.

Auf dem Nachhaltigkeitsforum 2016 der Zug Estates Holding AG wird Pascal Posset zum Thema 'Grüne Dichte' am Beispiel des Suurstoffi Areals sprechen. Weitere Fachreferenten sind Günther Vogt und Raphael Schmidt. Donnerstag, 15.09.2016, 17 Uhr, auf dem Areal Suurstoffi beim Bahnhof Rotkreuz, Gebäude Suurstoffi 12

The MEG, Musée d`Ethnographie de Genève, has been awarded the ‘Distinction SIA Genève’ prize, which was awarded this year for the sixth time since 1993. The emblematic building, which opened at the end of 2014, and its garden have an aura not least thanks to the museum’s first-class program, which projects far beyond the cultural landscape of Geneva.

The Suurstoffi site has been certified by the Stiftung Natur & Wirtschaft for its near-natural outdoor space. The award honors valuable contributions to more biodiversity and closeness to nature in settlement areas. With its spatial diversity, the “Millefleurs” (thousand flowers) concept supports natural diversity in the surroundings that we planned for the residential complex.

In cooperation with Atelier WW, we succeeded in winning the open competition in Bern Brünnen Construction Field 5. The robust urban planning structure and the functional surroundings of the public squares, streets, and paths will be complemented in the courtyard by means of the dreamy poetry of a garden of paradise. The planting gives rise to various spatial atmospheres.

Spring has also sprung in the flower garden in Berlin. The first images of the flowers in the garden, which is presently being restored according to the original plans from 1960, delight the visitors.

A surrounding green space consisting of Feldpark (field park), Südgarten (south garden), and Parkgarten (park garden) characterizes the outdoor space of the new Cantonal Hospital Baden and integrates it into the structures of the landscape. In cooperation with the team of Nickl & Partner Architekten, we were able to win over the jury with a holistic design.

Tours in connection with the ‘Gartenjahr 2016’ (Year of the Garden) have already begun, and gardens can still be visited until the end of October 2016. On Saturday May 21, 2016, starting at 1 p.m., it is our pleasure to lead visitors through the redesigned Grabenpärkli of the city of St.Gallen. More information available at:

Together with Jürgen Mayer H., we have intensively landscaped the roof over a commercial center and courtyard areas. The result are high-quality play and recreational areas. The apartments facing the courtyard will boast private gardens.

We are once again delighted about another success with Egli Rohr Partner AG! AMAG’s new training center is being gently integrated within surroundings shaped by agriculture. A grove of trees and a large water lily pool are the design elements that shape the open space concept.

Together - as a team - with Le Balto, Urban Catalist, and ift, we drafted a design concept for the four slagheaps in Gladbeck: with the existing nature, for the people of Gladbeck. The results were presented in mid-March.

A new city park is being created on the site of the former railroad tracks. A grove of blossoming trees surrounds the expansive, central meadow. On the southern side, a generous sundeck offers a café and a wide range of opportunities for play.

Reserved and yet autonomous, the new bridge enters into a subtle dialogue with the historical steel truss bridge through being oriented toward its materiality. It consists of a slender trough with v-shaped steel struts supported by concrete pillars. To correspond better to the typology of the Toma hills, the upper retaining wall is eliminated and replaced with a wooded slope.

We are very pleased to have the opportunity to realize the development of the “Entrepôts” district near the Renens train station in cooperation with Ferrari Architectes from Lausanne as a result of this success in the urban development competition.

The fall no longer invites spending time on the terrace, but from inside the herbs and the trimmed hedges of the completed garden are also enchanting in hoarfrost and under snow.

In mid-September 2015, it was possible to inaugurate the residential tower by Herzog de Meuron Architekten. Our outdoor area reflects the interface between the apartments and the in part near-natural surroundings with the ponds, a component of the powerful office buildings of the 1970s.

In the heart of Dresden, next to the world-famous Zwinger, lies the site of the Herzogingarten (duchess’ garden) with its colorful history from the 16th century until its destruction in World War II. Prof. Dr. Marcus Köhler and Prof. Thomas Will have organized a student workshop, for which Guido Hager will provide his expertise.

We are please to have been awarded the 3rd Prize in the international urban development idea competition “AGGLOlac Biel”! Along with the architecture and planning consultancy helsinkizurich, we were able to qualify in this fascinating project among twenty-five teams for the now following test planning. As a future, urban (development) hinge between Biel and Nidau, a new piece of the city is growing on the shore/shoreline/bank of Lake Biel. Embedded between the harbor of Biel and the Zihl channel in the north as well as the Nidau-Büren channel in the south, the new lake district responds to various spatial urban and landscape needs. The new city district is characterized by an interplay between natural and urban areas along the lakeshore. Generous open spaces on the one hand and urban densification on the other shape the look of the new lakefront district as interdependent antipodes. The spirit of the Expo, the desire for spaces that can be experienced collectively, for publicness and complexity finds an analogy in the conceptual and creative realization of the new city district by the lake. The theme of water – in the form of the lake and the canals; as well as differentiated city – and open space typologies intermesh to create a self-confident overall picture. Nature and recreational areas enter into dialogue with open urban spaces and form “Open Lac” as a whole.

A new Chilbiplatz is supposed to emerge in the center of Egg. In a study commission for prequalification, the jury selected our project from the five works submitted and authorized it for further development.

Max Dudler is building the library for the city of Heidenheim. Closely connected with the neighboring city space, we are developing a high-quality outdoor area for the library with stairs, ramps, low walls for sitting, roofed-over bicycle stations, and plant beds. The library in Heidenheim is a new urban sculptural component with an island-like character. The square and street space flow around it with a light-colored surface. Planted areas take up the picture of the building as a “street silhouette” and structure the elongated square by means of offsets.

The extensive plantings of perennials and grasses at the residential development has been completed. The plantings contribute to the residents’ privacy. The view of nearby Lake Zurich is nevertheless preserved.

Next to the residential estate by Bruno Taut, we are delighted to have the opportunity to upgrade the Garden City in cooperation with Zanderroth Architects. Traffic-calmed common zones green the estate area and group public and private areas to create a scenic unit along with the neighboring park.

With a new entrance building and upgrading into a park, the old communal public pool is becoming a new attraction of the city of Nauen (near Berlin). We are to be realizing this project in cooperation with nps tchoban voss Architects.

With Horisberger Wagen Architekten, we have been able to successfully conclude the competition for a new replacement building with a triple gymnasium and primary school as well as the adjoining outdoor facilities. With the positioning of the new building, open spaces have been assigned various uses: the roadside parking is situated slightly deeper, shielded by large trees that screen the playground and schoolyard. On the lower level, sports fields form the new green frame at the exit of the sports hall.

The ethnographic museum in Geneva is Building of the Week at “Swiss-architects 04/15.” The new building includes an esplanade wholly dedicated to the need to connect everyday local life with high-quality exhibition spaces close by. The main element of the esplanade is a sensual “garden carpet.”

After four years of planning, the grounds of the two residential buildings by Gigon / Guyer Architekten and the artist duo Lutz Guggisberg have been completed. The main attraction is the courtyard with ten old pines in a modulated landscape. It is framed by hedges of trees with large oaks. The children living in the 138 apartments immediately discovered their park for playing!

The school building by J.B.-Ferrari+Associes SA is situated in the middle of the park in the center. A spacious square connects the park with the nearby residential areas. The neighborhood park with play areas and an educational garden is available for use by both the pupils as well as residents.

In collaboration with M4 Architekten, we have developed a landmarked building ensemble into a modern education campus. In a uniform area stand loose groupings of trees surrounded by meadow areas. Linear bands for activities invite sitting and playing.

This summer Bern is celebrating the anniversary “200 Jahre – Zu Besuch in der Elfenau” (200 Years – Visiting Elfenau). Two centuries ago, Anna Feodorovna redesigned Elfenau. We have now been given the opportunity to rehabilitate the Ost-Allee, the Kanzel (elevated lookout point) , and the water basin with a reinterpreted waterfall.

At the edge of the city, a path leads to a sitting area. What seems to be unspoiled nature was once an overgrown waste disposal site. With only a few interventions, it is now a garden. A book box holds garden books as inspiration for reflecting on “nature.” “Si vous possédez une bibliothèque et un jardin, vous avez tout ce qu’il vous faut .” Cicero, Epistulae ad familiares IX, 4, à Varro (rédigées entre 63 et 43 av. J.-C) http://paradis-de-lecture.net/

The Argen River flows through the picturesque city. The industrial canal parallel to it connects the medieval city center with the former site of ERBA: two different worlds, each with their own qualities, are carefully posited in a dialogue between landscape and function.

Aebi & Vincent Architekten AG positioned the new building freely to complement the existing composition. The entrance courtyard with the large plane tree and a wooden deck connects the old buildings with the new one. It remains possible to see and experience the foot of the slope of the Aare river sanctuary with a view of the river and toward the Federal Palace. A near-natural wet meadow with a pond surrounds the new building.

We are pleased to have won the competition for the enlargement of the Children’s Hospital in Lausanne as part of the team of Ferrari architectes + GMP. The central element is a generous terrace from which it is possible to look out over the city to the lake.
