Penthouse for rent - 8635 Dürnten, Hubackerstrasse 12

Vivarana – The Home of Well-Being

Above Dürnten, in the Breitenmatt district, Vivarana is being built – a unique residential building with four high-quality rental apartments (3.5 and 4.5 rooms). The architectural concept is based on Vastu, an ancient Indian teaching that designs living spaces in harmony with the five elements. The result: A home that promotes well-being, natural comfort, and harmony.

Vivarana combines modern, sustainable living with a unique view of Lake Zurich and the Alps. Here you experience light, space, and nature in perfect balance.

Surroundings & Amenities

Vivarana offers its residents a holistic living experience with first-class communal facilities:

• Swimming pond: Naturally designed and placed in the northeast according to Vastu.
• Sauna: Perfect for relaxation and regeneration.
• Barbecue area with pergola: A meeting point for social gatherings.

The nature-friendly surroundings are ideal for leisure activities: Hiking, jogging, walking, or biking start right at your doorstep. Nevertheless, privacy is preserved – each apartment has its own protected seating area or balcony with a breathtaking view.

Sustainability & Energy Efficiency

• Ground probe heat pump for environmentally friendly heating and hot water.
• Photovoltaic system on the roof for self-power production.
• Free cooling system: Removes up to 3°C of heat from the living spaces in summer and stores it for winter.
• Ventilation system with heat recovery: For optimal air quality, free from dust and pollen.

Vastu – Living in Harmony with the Elements

Vastu is an Indian architectural doctrine that focuses on the harmonious interaction with the five elements of earth, fire, ether, water, and air. The goal is to design living spaces that support health, energy, and well-being.

Vivarana was specifically designed according to these principles:

• Optimal orientation of the building for maximum energy flows.
• Harmonious room layout according to the elements.
• High-quality natural materials for a healthy living climate.
• Central courtyard (atrium) as a light-filled centerpiece.

The atrium directs sunlight into the center of the house – a source of energy and balance. The communal facilities such as sauna, swimming pond, and fire pit are integrated into the Vastu philosophy.

Apartments – Light, Space & Comfort

The four barrier-free, wheelchair-accessible apartments are harmoniously grouped around the courtyard. A lift connects the underground garage directly with the apartments.

Each apartment offers:

• Large bedrooms (13.5 – 16 m²) for maximum comfort.
• Living-dining area with open kitchen (38 or 54 m²) for a spacious feeling.
• Two bathrooms: One with a bathtub, one with a walk-in shower.
• Own washing tower in the reduit or bathroom.
• Large seating areas/balconies: On the ground floor with plenty of space for lounge and grill, on the upper floor with double room size.
