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.

Extension I:

Architecturally, the public square was redesigned with

The towerhouse

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.

counteract social problems on Steindamm, and to oppose the gentrification process.

In order to give something back to the neighborhood, the building opens to the street over two floors and offers space for district cafés and other non-profit projects. The floors above offer a wide variety of apartment layouts.
