Ursula & Noah

“Ursula & Noah” is a competition project for a residential development in Altstetten, Zurich, on the Ernst Zöbeli site. It mediates between large housing blocks and smaller scale neighbourhoods.

The scheme consists of two building rows that define the street edge and open toward a central park. The outer edge is urban, while the inner side connects directly to the landscape.

Paths extend through the site and link to the surrounding network. The park is shared space for movement and play. The design uses timber construction and incorporates reused materials.
