dade HOUSE

For once, we at dade design changed roles and developed an object ourselves. We set ourselves 3 challenges and learning tasks:

1. Testing BIM
2. Turnkey build in 16 weeks
3. Consistent materialization in white cement. From the facade to the concrete bathtub

1) BIM

3D planning has been standard for us for years. We wanted to find out how far BIM has come and where there are future points of contact for us.

2) Architecture / Realization in 16 weeks

The task was to generate the maximum number of living space on the given roof area of 25x11m. With the Zurich building regulations (1/3 façade length, roof edge 45 degrees from 1m sill wall) and the location of the stairs and sanitary facilities, there are not many architectural options for the overall layout. The challenge therefore lay in careful detailing work. In addition, we wanted to prove in the construction management that it is possible to realise such a turnkey project in 16 weeks. (More information with regards to the planning and building logistics).

3) Consistent materialisation

Material reduction to 4 materials: – White cement dade ROC – Wood (oak) – Glass & – Black matte metal

With this project, we finally wanted to create a uniform architecture reduced to 4 materials, from the facade (partner RIEDER) to the exposed concrete stairs to the concrete bathtub, which we can show interested clients in real life and not in a showroom atmosphere. You should experience the peace and power of this reduction – even we were surprised!

The core idea in the realization of two 3.5 room city apartments was the optimization of the south-north-facing living and working spaces. The bedrooms are kept relatively small, and the walls are designed as floor-to-ceiling storage spaces.

The reduction of the materials gives the object a calmness, contrasting with the hectic everyday life in the city. Only white cement was used to match the white glazed wood surfaces.

2510mm

We struggled with building physics and insulation to create the highest possible room height. We ended up at 251cm which is not very much. Therefore, all interior fittings have the full room height and are butt mounted resp. baseless and mitred. The kitchens are also completely invisible thanks to the new pocket doors, which we were able to test for the first time for BLUM. All carpentry work comes from our co-making space.

The lighting is the secret start and comes from our partners VIABBIZZUNO and RIBAG. In particular, the KIVO light with concrete screens and the concrete light Aplomb (in white cement, of course) are used.

CO2

Our concrete manufactory has been producing CO2-neutral for 6 years. The aim of the creation and the selection of suppliers and materials was to keep the grey energy / CO2 from the construction as small as possible. We will calculate and neutralize the rest of the CO2 emissions. We are convinced that with PARIS 2050 net zero in the not-too-distant future all buildings will/must be CO2 neutral.
