The Revitalization and Renovation of The Grieder House by AFGH Architect

The Grieder House was constructed in 1956, that it is made up of Küsnacht, near Zurigo, Switzerland. Theodor Laubi is l' architect and the designer of this job behind schedule. L' it has designed on a land plot of ground with a wide garden and is placed side by side from a forest. Then, after the modifications more of the owners and their corresponding conversions and the extensions of the house it has lost the modernista original character. Fortunately in 2005, the residence it has resumed from the new owners, are a young brace that is the owner of the gallery and an artist. L' it has recognized upgrades them of the house. The restructure of the house is the gallery of opening for l' contemporary art in the flat earth. Only the same house is not revitalized, but also transformed in a partial and seed-public building, that all is benefitted l' surrounding residential area. The customer is to have lived for approximately 10 years in a great city like Berlin and London. That he has the same advantage to skillfully introduce a piece of the metropolitan style of life of this single idyllic family with the house seen towards the lake of Zurigo. The additional dimension to the house is added from the riorientamento works them and the movement of the program spaces them, a moving ibridismo and the possibility to reinterpretare many of the rooms in this house. For the gallery d' art, this particularly is applied that it is rather than proporsi like " White Cube" it is a hall for l' contemporary art, that it is aware and with garbo coquets with the domestic familiarità of its outskirtses. The testimony of the cure and l' attention initially paid for l' architectonic expression dell' building is bearded from a series survivor of the photographies from 1950, is obvious for l' request in the profiles window l' esile and the general purista modernista aspect. With Fuhrimann Hächler Architects, l' objective of the conversion is undertaken. This is not simply to restore the character originates them of the house where the demolition of a garage is demanded lean, but also in order to amplify and quite to emphasize pertinenza and to berth l' architecture in the present. The scale curve or the sticks of concrete is detached in order to reveal the qualities hidden in their splendor originates them. For l' example, knows it former washing to it with its adjacent terrace that comes used in order to hang the bucato one is characterizing with elements of wonderful facade of the lamelle of concrete. It has been transformed in a particularly interesting kitchen for l' advanced apartment with a balcony terrace. The spectator totally becomes aware of the Mediterranean detail, that he is touch in the existing reticulum of concrete, and allowing its fascination " brasiliano" in order to carry out itself. The giustapposizione of the single ones is liberations rounded off and is formed with rigorous orthogonal geometry for l' organization of the majority of the pavement programs. The same contrast is a typical characteristic dell' modern architecture of the South America of 1950. In order to deepen the tensions and the contrast, new built-in elements of the kitchen and the furnishings that join aware to this impulse it has been planned. L' application without continuity solution the background with a reason to log d' tree is permissible from the angles rounded off in the corridor to the advanced plan. Draft of inner-shaving to the ground the adjacent forest to the house and also to interiorize l' atmosphere forest house. The same reason is extended on a bookcase that is integrated in the wall and transforming it in furnitures in the process and l' opening of the several elements of construction reinterpretazione or hybridization. The materialization is generates l' sobria and coherent atmosphere that is not in conflict with the extension of contemporary art, but is attempted rather than I compliment and to evidence pieces. The not conventional coloration is supplied with the shadings of the green olive and brown, once again resumes the topic of the forest formulation all' inside of the house and loans is l' architecture as a touch detail in discreet way and characterizes them.
