Un Morceau De L'histoire Architecturale Bernoise

This stylish 4½-room terraced single-family house is located on the edge of the renowned Merzenacker settlement in the sought-after southeast of the city of Bern. The settlement, planned by the ARB working group, has been combining communal qualities with individual living since the 1980s and is considered a remarkable example of thoughtfully designed residential architecture. The settlement is organized as a housing cooperative.
The house impresses with its precise architectural design and the harmonious interplay of indoor and outdoor spaces. The open structure creates diverse spatial relationships and can be flexibly adapted to different lifestyles.
The quiet, almost idyllic location conveys an exceptional quality of living. Despite the dense construction, surprising retreat options arise - through the clear zoning of public, semi-private, and private areas. The location on the edge of the settlement enhances this feeling of privacy and individuality - embedded in an architecturally exceptionally carefully designed overall context.
