Stade de la Tuilière, CH-Lausanne

The new soccer stadium is located in the northern part of the city of Lausanne and marks the transition from the dense urban fabric to the open countryside. It serves as the starting point for a newly planned sports infrastructure comprising a total of nine soccer fields and an athletics track. The new stadium construction project embraces and completes this concept of slightly offset, rectangular fields.

The open corners allow for a generous and unobstructed flow of visitors around the stadium on the ground floor and also mark the four entrance areas. The result is a covered public space that serves as a bridge between the city and the soccer stadium. The stadium’s atmosphere can be experienced and felt even from the outside.

The stadium, with its strikingly memorable structure, is designed to serve as a vessel for identity and memory. By opening up the four corners of the stadium, the design addresses the constraints of the site’s perimeter. At the same time, this creates the impressive and unmistakable iconographic image of a vessel.

Stirnemann House, CH-Endingen

A multi-family residence for three households is to be built on a scenic west-facing slope in Endingen, in the canton of Aargau. To integrate the building as seamlessly as possible into the topography, the structure will be oriented lengthwise along the slope. The northern and southern edges of the lot reflect the original slope topography and will be left as close to their natural state as possible. There will be no outbuildings whatsoever. The numerous required parking spaces are arranged beneath and in front of the building. Rising above a concrete basement level is a two-story, sculptural main volume, whose internal layout is defined by a solid, centrally located core zone. On the lower of the two residential floors, this core zone serves as the dividing wall between a 3.5-room and a 4.5-room apartment, housing the upper-level areas such as the entrance, elevator, mechanical systems, and restrooms. On the top floor, a third apartment (4.5 rooms) wraps around the central core.
