Schiffbau

 Back to Projects list
Location
Schiffbaustrasse 4, 8005 Zurich, Switzerland
Year
2001

Workshops, studio, rehearsal stages and other facilities of the Zurich Schauspielhaus (theatre) previously scattered across different sites are gathered together here to form a centre on the former Sulzer-Escher-Wyss industrial site (shipyard). The Schiffbauhalle (shipbuilding shed), which is under a preservation order, was adapted to serve as foyer and hall theatre. A jazz forum and restaurant are also located here. Directly connected with it is the new building organised around a courtyard, which houses all the workshops and offices of the Schauspielhaus and, at the top, a ring of two-storey privately owned apartments arranged around an internal courtyard that can also used be used as an open-air theatre.
