Zurich, 2024
Holdener Naturgartenbau undertook the complete redesign of the Rossweid residential complex, with 66 apartments in Gockhausen. The project includes extensive meadows, native hedges, trees, permeable paths, playgrounds, and seating areas. Special emphasis was placed on a naturalistic design that helps reduce heat, including a horse paddock and a communal gathering area that provide space for both residents and nature.
