The Hard Turm Park building complex was built on a former industrial estate in the popular district Zurich West and is now both a residential and business quarter. The Hard Turm Park Tower with its black and white patchwork facade pattern and a height of 80 metres is in the middle. The airy residential tower puts its stamp on Zurich's skyline and stands for urban and exclusive living in a distinctive way. The bottom floors feature a hotel and food service establishment. In the upper part, flats with extra-deep loggias that are disconnected from the urban land benefit from the distant views. Window awnings with ZIP guidance, which are particularly wind-stable, protect the indoor areas against overheating and are used as a facade design element at the same time. The smart shading concept is rounded off by flexible external venetian blinds.
