A house for life – flexible, sustainable, and future-oriented. The three planned 6 ½-room single-family houses in Obfelden combine generous living with a flexible concept for all life phases – ideal for families, couples, or as a multi-generational house. Currently usable as a single unit, the attic can later be designed as a separate apartment – perfect for grandparents, young adults, or for renting. A lift connects all four floors and enables comfortable, barrier-free living – today and in the future.
The living concept allows for shared use of spaces, promotes social exchange, and saves costs in the long term. It adapts to different life situations, whether it’s with family growth, age-appropriate living, or new forms of housing.
In terms of construction and technology, the project also focuses on sustainability: the houses are built using prefabricated wooden elements, entirely from wood products without obstructive films. The dark, thermally treated wooden facade harmoniously integrates into the surroundings. Photovoltaic partial areas on the roofs and high-quality clay tiles ensure an energy-efficient and aesthetically pleasing building envelope.
The heating is provided by floor-to-ceiling flat panel radiators. A connection to the community's wood chip heating system is planned – an ecologically sensible solution for sustainable heating.
