First Tower (ex-Silo) Horgen
With the SIA 2040 program, the so-called SIA Efficiency Path Energy (equivalent to Minergie), environmentally friendly energy consumption (ground probe heating) is used for the raw and interior construction, primarily high-quality, local, building biology healthy and sustainable building materials.
This is just a small summary. The architect's construction description is part of the contract, not this documentation.

Information - unique tower
Building a tower is very different from building a multi-family house.
The conditions are completely different, a lot of concrete, tons of steel, many walls... protective measures, etc.
Safety is the top priority at a total height of 40 meters.
Up high! In apartment 2, you are already about 17 meters high in the living room.
The groundwork alone, with the slope stabilization, was an immense task, precision and skill were required.
Fortunately, our engineer was always on hand.
The decoupling from the railway, also an important part, so that the building stands still and no vibrations occur in the house, was an enormous effort.
The prices for such a work are therefore also in a different league and cannot be compared with ordinary buildings, because it is simply very cost-intensive.
The uniqueness cannot be emphasized enough, as it will be difficult to realize another 40-meter-high building in Horgen.
