Ernst Basler & Partner Office Building
Zollikerstrasse 65, Zollikon
1986
The
whole
ensemble consisting of several volumes,
designed by Esther
& Rudolf Guyer,
is characterized by
exposed brick masonry on the interior and on the exterior.
Symmetrical
fronts with gabled roofs are sited on the sloping plot and
are related
to the road. On street level, there is the access to the
garage, while
the access for pedestrians is made by a stair leading to a
planted
couryard. The windows are made of larch wood, while the
roofs and
parapets are made of copper. The interior floors consist
of clinker
while granite is used for the outdoor floors. The use of
natural
materials in earthy brown-red tones creates the warm
atmosphere which
was desired by the client for the office building.
