Lutisbach Development, CH-Oberägeri
The Lutisbach parcel is located above Lake Ägeri in the canton of Zug. The scenic southern slope of Oberägeri is now characterized by an interplay of landscape and settlement. Distinctly defined landscape areas alternate here with residential areas that are integrated into the topography with varying degrees of care.
The cluster-like arrangement of the new buildings proposed in the design is modeled after the farmsteads typical of the hillside and lends the landscape — with its tangible topography and distinctive stands of trees — the necessary presence. As a consequence of the urban design concept, each cluster defines an “interior” reserved for residential access in the form of a residential courtyard and an “exterior” integrated into the landscape.
A cluster consists of a ring of several buildings arranged along the sloping terrain. Each building adapts to the topography in its own way, giving rise to a wide variety of residential and access configurations. The result is tower buildings, townhouses, and two-story row houses.
