WAA win competition to design the Europaallee 'Site D' in Zürich

This new building is an integral component of ‘Europaallee’, a currently emerging district adjacent to the city of Zürich’s central train station. A plinth of retail programming anchors the project to its site, while its upper volumes consist of flexible office spaces that, due to their shallow depth and efficient façade grid, can be occupied by several individual companies or a larger singular tenant. The main entry has been positioned along the parallel ‘Europaallee’, and opens onto the ground floor's main retail and circulation spaces. From the ground floor, a central staircase complemented by two ramping escalators traverses and connects these areas. Foreseeing a possible conversion into future residential units, the building’s flexible structure was designed to allow for such a repurpose of its program.

Construction will begin in 2017, and is scheduled to commence in 2019.
