0040Rütti Areal Biel-Benken

The new "Rütti" project adopts the concept of freestanding buildings but scales them up. The houses have larger distances between them and are taller, allowing for better integration into the landscape. The architecture of the point houses, with continuous exposed concrete façades, creates private outdoor areas for each apartment. The complex is accessed via a basement floor, which houses communal spaces like hobby rooms. The garden is designed as a shared, landscaped area.
