Zihlstrasse Residential Complex, CH-Nidau

The property is one of the last large areas available for expansion in Nidau. It borders the old town to the west and is surrounded by quiet residential neighborhoods to the south and east. To the north, the property is bordered by the Zihl River, which provides a direct water connection to Lake Biel. The property is well-connected to both private and public transportation.

The design calls for four residential buildings that match the scale and density of the eastern development along the Zihl River. The interior partition structure is angled in a V-shape in the floor plan, which allows for better zoning of the living and dining areas and optimizes natural light.
