In the new Garden CITY, the street space will be reactivated and once again become the center of social life. Small businesses on the first floors, public squares, and car-free streets strengthen the public space.

two new buildings and an extension. The new ensemble has two distinctly different sides: a public one facing the square and a private one defining the semi-public inner courtyard designated for artisanal use. The existing building is woven into a new ensemble and, with its extensions and conversions, forms the new cultural, commercial and tourist center of Wilderswil.
