Residential and Commercial Complex Vulcano, Zurich
The project «Vulcano» consists of three towers aligned along Vulkanstrasse on a podium structure. The complex has a gross floor area of roughly 58,000 m2, which offers a wide range of uses including apartments, commercial, and service areas and generous, publicly accessible outdoor areas. Along Vulkanstrasse, the project creates an urban space framed by the overhanging base structures and the sweeping canopy. The slim residential towers also feature attractive corner apartments.
Because of the project’s proximity to the railway, noise protection was a particular priority. A type of passive noise reduction glazing is inserted in the spaces between the towers as a striking architectural element. This terrace level also fulfils a variety of functions.
