2 photo: Heinrich Helfenstein photo: Knapkiewicz & Fickert Four Apartments Wiesenstrasse Winterthur This small, yet intriguingly complex building is irritating The body of the three-storey liverwurst-coloured block is folded several times as it traces the boundary lines of the property It seems compact, but projects oddly: the top storey has a triangular terrace cutting into its volume and spreading it apart, two low annexes connect to the property next door, and various window formats are distributed without any apparent logic Elegant it is not At the recessed entrance, white marble frames the door - a moderately representative touch heralding the staccato beyond: a chequerboard of red and white marble covers the floor From both outside and inside, it is almost impossible to understand the way the different flats interlock without looking at the plan; it is an assemblage of scenes rahter than an integrated whole Nevertheless, no one entering the building can remain indifferent It is as if several generations already lived here; what bigger compliment can we give a house? photo: Heinrich Helfenstein Project is not public! 2005 Knapkiewicz & Fickert AG Kaschka Knapkiewicz Axel_Simon 2

6 photo: Roger Frei photo: Roger Frei Fehlmann Areal Housing Seidenstrasse Winterthur Through the careful incorporation of the new apartment buildings, integral components of the existing park, as well as the Villa Fehlmann, remain intact The cubes of different sizes fit well into the pattern of the surroundings and, at the same time, create an independent ensemble The recessed plinth and the reflective qualities of the glass façades cause the buildings to seem to hover in the park landscape The apartments are all located around a central core and open out to the park on at least three sides The simple structural form spans a large area that can be freely divided, allowing it to be adapted to the needs of the residents, from closed rooms to loft spaces - everything is possible The bands of floor-to-ceiling windows that continue right around the building allow the outdoors to be experienced indoors Private outoor spaces are provided through enclosed balconies that vary in position and size, giving a unique character to each apartment BGP Axa Winterthur BGP photo: Roger Frei The park is semi-public and can be accessed anytime Train to Winterthur main station, then catch the bus Number Tro1, direction Oberwinterthur Get off at Palmstrasse 6
