Swiss architect\u00a0Gus\u00a0W\u00fcstemann\u00a0has subdivided a 19th-century building\u00a0in\u00a0Zurich\u00a0into nine\u00a0flats\u00a0with\u00a0concrete\u00a0and chipboard\u00a0finishes.\u00a0<\/span>Located in the Seefeld area of Zurich, the original\u00a0building consists of two structures: a traditional four-storey residential house dating from\u00a01850 and an extension in front, which was built later to host a car repair garage and warehouse.<\/p>\n

As the outlines of the entire complex were\u00a0protected, W\u00fcstemann\u00a0had to work inside the existing walls. He stripped the interior plasterwork to reveal an existing stone wall\u00a0that features\u00a0throughout the renovation, named\u00a0Natural Stone Wall.<\/p>\n

Four larger apartments, named Ateliers, occupy\u00a0the smaller house and the large, stony\u00a0spaces of the old workshops, which featured little natural light and concrete flooring is used throughout. Some parts have been cast over engineered wooden boards\u00a0to give a textured finish.<\/p>\n

One of the Ateliers is arranged over three floors and features a large window placed into an original archway that brings plenty of light into the open-plan living\u00a0area. In this space, the end of the\u00a0existing stone wall marks a division between the lounge at the front\u00a0and the kitchen and dining room at the rear.<\/p>\n

Off the dining area, chipboard doors slide open to reveal a bathroom, which features a\u00a0high\u00a0vaulted ceiling\u00a0and a\u00a0bathtub sunken into the floor. The\u00a0free-standing shower is placed in front of a large polycarbonate light box\u00a0that provides a diffuse light.<\/p>\n

From the living area, a staircase leads up and around a mezzanine floor occupied by the study area. The master bedroom is placed above this on a second, smaller level, with doors that open to a terrace.<\/p>\n

On the other side, the lounge is lit from above by a skylight in the roof. The area remains open to the bathroom, which is set on a slightly higher level and accessed by a\u00a0set of steps.<\/p>\n
