Short description │
Residential Building with Tram Depot
The new Kalkbreite building is situated in the centre of the city of Zurich. The building integrates
a tram stabling area and is determined by its complex geometry and the wide variety of uses. The
difficult geometry of the plot and the requirements for the tram shed led to a number of highly complex
challenges for the load-bearing structure. For example, the building must span the full width of the exit
rails from the tram shed. This is to be implemented by inserting three-storey steel trusses into the walls.
