The city is making a sustainable statement

The Zuberhaus accommodates Department 70 and the SMO, including in particular public transport drivers and the municipal cleaning team with the recycling yard.

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, while deliberately avoiding overly complex technical systems. The design focuses on compactness and resource-efficient use of materials, which also made it possible to dispense with a basement.
