The city is focusing on reuse and timber construction

Across five floors, it provides break rooms, meeting spaces, changing areas, sanitary facilities and kitchenette areas. The architecture combines a solid timber structure with a reinforced concrete core and continuous access galleries, supporting efficient use and communication. As part of the constructive timber protection strategy, the gallery columns are made of larch wood and extend up to 19 m in length.

The building services were developed to a high standard, including ventilated lockers. The energy concept is based on solar thermal energy and photovoltaics. The design focuses on compactness and resource-efficient use of materials, which also made it possible to dispense with a basement.

A key objective in the design of the Zuberhaus was to create a building that aligns as closely as possible with circular construction principles. This is reflected in a range of measures, including the reuse of channel glass, the repurposing of façade cladding made of channel glass. Even timber paving blocks were reused and carefully integrated into the design.
