The highrise building Hardturm Park is the result of an architectural competition, which was won by Gmür & Geschwentener Architects in the year of 2007. The tower was built from 2010 to 2013 in a general contractor method. The building is located in a new developing area of the city Zurich, in the neighbourhod of the Hardturm Areal, the Toni-Areal with the new Zurich University of the Arts and the distribution center of a large shopping market. The voluminous structure is formulated as a powerful and classically proportioned volume, and creates an ensemble with the neighboring high-rises, which distinguishes the place as a kind of gate to the city. In the lower floors of the Hardturm Park building is housed the hotel with conference rooms and a restaurant, while there are condominiums in the upper floors. In the condominiums, which benefit from an excellent distance view, a living enraptured from the city soil is put in scene. The organization of the structure is dominated by the demands of the hotel and the residences. The strict building structure allowed a flexible development of the room concept.
