The residential neighbourhood lies like a green island in the municipality of Horgen between the main roads Seestrasse and Einsiedlerstrasse.
The plot, whose terrain slopes diagonally on two sides, offers an unobstructed view of Lake Zurich and the Saentis to the north, while the neighbourhood access road is located on the hillside to the south. In order to do justice to the premise of optimal utilisation and the small-scale appearance of the neighbourhood, the building is divided into three cubes with staggered height levels.
In the tradition of a hôtel particulier, access to the building is via a head-end structure with a vehicle lift to the underground car park. An external staircase leads to the prestigious cour d'entrée. On the north side, the building with its different terrace levels is enthroned above the Distelweg and presents itself with a discreet noblesse. This expression is emphasised by a white, finely detailed façade cladding of surrounding bands and ascending reveals.
Dense planting provides the right amount of privacy and neighbourly interaction.
