Project
These buildings were built in 1952-1953 by the Hochuli and Sartorio office. The project concerns the elevation and transformation of the three seven-storey buildings on the ground floor with attic space. As part of the elevation, 6 apartments of 5 rooms are created. The transformation mainly concerns the building envelope and the renovation of the main technical supplies and pipelines. We took the opportunity to close the loggias in front of the kitchens, to allow for their further expansion.
