The new six-storey building for the Criminal Investi­gation Depart­ment of the Zurich City Police adopts the large-scale, industrial volumetrics typical of the neigh­bour­hood. Together with the neigh­bouring building to the east, it forms a block perimeter with a semi-public inner court­yard and a spacious, land­scaped forecourt to the south.

Inside, the individual floors are connected via a generous central court­yard and several two-storey gallery spaces. These create a multitude of path­ways and visual references and thus promote exchange among the employees.
