RESIDENTIALLAKE CONSTANCE, SWITZERLAND

Status

Located on the shores of Lake Constance, on the Swiss side, this home was created for a young race car

driver and his wife. The home was design with the idea of living on the infinite plane between a virtual

and actual lake. This was accomplished by the using of travertine flooring inside and out, and a large

mirrored wall on the opposite side of the lake that relflects the image of the house and lake beyond it.

The open floor plan and slim mullioned sliding glass doors create the perfect atmosphere for outdoor

living and social gathers.

ZÜRICH, SWITZERLAND RESIDENTIAL

All interiors, exteriors and landscaping were

designed by tecDESIGN. Carefull detailing

of the living floor roof edge and sliding glass

facade were paramount in creating a successful

relationship of the inside and outside.

The interior conversation pit features a pop-up

tv and is custom designed for the space.

StatusKAMEHA GRAND HOTEL

Zürich, Switzerland

Located between the Airport and the heart of Zürich in the rapidly growing community of Opfikon, this

will be the second Grand Hotel in the Kameha line-up. At over 250 rooms, this Grand Hotel features

an event space for 1000, two top-tier resturants, including a sushi bar, and open kitchen designs and a

mini-forest situated above the underground parking, located in a sub-basement level.

The architecture displays a unique and highly energy efficient double-facade. The facade embraces the

streetscape with a gently curving pattern made posissible by custom horizontal mullion. The facade is

like an elegant dress flowing down the red carpet.

“THE FACADE IS LIKE AN ELE-GANT DRESS FLOWING ALONG THE RED CARPET.”

“CAREFULLY DETAILED TO THE MOST STRINGENT OF SWISS BUILDING CODES”


Technically, the architecture of the hotel is

executed in a very precise fashion. All areas of

the building are carefully detailed to the most

stringent of Swiss building codes and Minergie

standards. The facade utilizes two layers of

glass, interstitial sunshading and interior cur-

tains and blinds to allow the building to be finely

tuned to any daylighting and/or passive heating

& cooling situations.

THE GLASS DOUBLE FACADE WITH TRIPLE PANE WINDOWS AL-LOWS THE HOTEL TO BE FINELY TUNED.


One of the most important features of the hotel is its conference and event center. These elements

were carefully considered for appropriate adjacencies and ease of use. At 1,250 m2, the conference

and event spaces were also designed for maximum flexibility. The main bannquet rooms can be com-

bined into a larger conference space. There are rooms for small groups and large. The main event

space is located on the second floor and has vehicle access via a specialized exterior elevator. The

event space also has a separate entry area for bus-drop off.

The conference area also has direct access to the exterior garden area, where full grown trees will be

planted in an intensive green roof setup.

HOSPITALITYSTUTTGART, GERMANY

Status

When famous car designer Sergio Scaglietti was designing his legendary racing cars in the 1950s and

60s, he coined a phrase that also applies to architecture – an approach that we have adopted as our

basic philosophy at our design studio in Los Angeles: It’s not only about form and function, but also the

passion that it creates. Cloud No 7 is a project whose design was developed with passion, whose shape

was drawn with the heart and soul of our designers and architects, with functionality meeting the highest

standards – representing the state of the art in technology in building services and sustainability.
