A mix-and-match mock-up has been constructed for the residential project Eggen. Located on the outskirts of Lucerne, the two buildings will be defined by their timber façades and a distinctive, colourful presence.
For one of the buildings in Eggen, Lucerne, a tree trunk will be used to mark the two-storey passage through the centre of the Z-shaped building as load-bearing columns. Two Atlas cedars were selected, which were felled in the winter of 2023/24 in a forest near Figeac, France. The trees were approximately 120 years old.
Caruso St John is currently preparing the construction phase for the West Tower at the Hardturm site in Zurich. The façades will be clad with floor-to-ceiling folded chrome-steel sheets, for which initial samples have been developed. Through their surface, depth, reflections, and shadows, these elements combine to form a distinctive figure in the building’s elevation.
