The “Oasis Oerlikon” is a hybrid urban building block in a hard urban context, consisting of a stack of a double-storey public ground floor, a compact volume for living and care and a communally used green roof terrace.

The volume encloses an interior village square that expands upwards into a lively residential courtyard up to the communally used roof terrace, thus intertwining the different degrees of publicity and requirements of the programme and creating a self-evident togetherness of the users.

The combination of wood and concrete construction follows this programmatic division and constructive logic, resulting in an innovative and sustainable building that combines architectural-spatial and structural-constructive aspects.

The circulation and lounge spaces complement and overlap each other in a sequence of meeting possibilities in the vertical. This concept offers different possibilities for social or individual interaction depending on the time of day. A home is created characterised by the subtle degrees of differentiation of publicity, quality of open space and materiality.
