Description
Located on the northern outskirts of Gümligen, the development brings together a wide variety of ideals from the 1970s, some of which are even contradictory. Communal open spaces are combined with private gardens; a unifying exterior design allows for individual creative freedom inside, and the use of simple industrial materials contrasts with traditional craftsmanship.
