They are unique and eye-catching: The nine earth houses in Dietikon, which unite to form a picturesque residential area. In the center of the complex is an idyllic biotope that belongs to all residents. This natural jewel is not only a place of relaxation and encounter, but also an important contribution to biodiversity. One of these earth houses, a unit with 180 m² of living space in the southwestern part of the settlement, is now for sale.
The renowned Swiss architect Peter Vetsch, who realized the settlement in 1993, is considered a pioneer of sustainable building. His vision: living spaces that are not only unique and aesthetically appealing, but also ecological and sustainable. The organic forms of his earth houses blend harmoniously into the landscape and create a feeling of security and tranquility.
The construction of the earth houses is as fascinating as it is functional: They consist of a steel-sprayed concrete construction that is covered with a layer of earth. This type of construction offers excellent energy properties, natural insulation, and protection against external influences such as heat, cold, or noise. In addition, it ensures a durable and environmentally friendly construction method that preserves the ecological balance.
The interior of the earth house is just as extraordinary as its exterior appearance. It not only offers protection and comfort, but creates an unexpectedly cozy atmosphere. Thanks to the organic construction, which prefers gently curved shapes and natural materials, the spatial feeling is unparalleled: harmonious, warm, and inviting. Thoughtful window openings allow daylight to enter elegantly and create bright living spaces. Despite the unique architecture, the interiors are flexible and offer numerous design possibilities. Organic beauty thus combines with modern comfort.
The floor plan of the house is cleverly designed. On the ground floor, you are greeted by an inviting dining area, located at the foot of the semi-open kitchen. This is followed by the bright living area with direct access to the front terrace – perfect for relaxing hours outdoors. Also on this level is another room, which is ideal as an office or children's room. This combination of living and working areas makes the ground floor an ideal place for sociable gatherings and productive work.
A few paragraphs below you will find the retreat area of the house. The spacious bedroom and the spacious bathroom with bathtub and shower offer maximum comfort. Both rooms have direct access to the rear terrace, which combines privacy and a connection to nature.
The lower floor combines practical functionality with additional living comfort. Past two large utility rooms, one of which houses the newly installed geothermal heat pump, you reach two more rooms. One of them has its own ensuite bathroom with shower, which offers maximum flexibility for family members or guests.
The basement also offers direct access to the communal underground garage. Included in the offer are two garage spaces directly in front of the house entrance as well as an additional space in the outer area of the parking garage.
Experience the luxury of a sustainable living concept that offers you security and quality of life at the highest level – a home where you will truly feel at home.
