New Construction of ETH LEE Zurich

1st Place in Competition

This sixteen-storey office tower was built on Leonhardstrasse, right below the ETH Main Build-ing in the centre of Zurich. A spacious, impressive entrance hall welcomes visitors and users and ushers them on to offices on the upper floors and lecture halls on the ground floor.

The high-rise tower reaches an eaves height of 40 m above ground level, while the foundation slab is 20 m below ground level. Whereas the underground floors were entirely constructed of in-situ concrete, with the exception of their stabilising cores, the upper floors were built of prefabricated concrete with floor slabs made of ribbed slabs and rectangular façade supports. Textured concrete elements form the building's self-supporting façade.
