The project
The six-story replacement building on Stampfenbachstrasse in Zurich accommodates small households in a good 55 square meters. A cleverly placed revolving wall, movable wardrobes and drawers in the hollow floor make the living space changeable and versatile, and residents need only bring a few pieces of furniture.
The construction
The performative house is built entirely in wood from the first floor upwards; the existing basement was retained and converted. The floor slabs and walls of the performative house are largely constructed of visible cross-laminated timber panels. Vertical loads are transferred to the wall below by means of beech dowels at the floor transition to avoid cross-laminated timber compression.
The challenge
Due to the noisy Stampfenbachstrasse, the requirements for the facade are maximum. An acoustically decoupled outer wall shell and soundproof windows ensure noise protection. For the load transmission detail with beech dowels, acoustic investigations were carried out by our building physicists on a 1:1 mock-up.
