Interior construction office building Thurgauerstrasse Zürich, 1996

The office building at Thurgauerstrasse 56 was constructed in 1985 by Theo Hotz Architects in cooperation with Franz Romero. In 1990, the Building Insurance Canton Zurich (GVZ) took over the building and commissioned the working group Theo Hotz AG and Romero Schaefle Architects with the interior finishing of the owner-occupied floors. In a first stage (1991-93), the ground floor and attic floor were extended. In a second stage (1996), under the sole responsibility of Romero Schaefle Architects included the 1^st floor, in a third stage (2005), the 5^th floor was extended. The public rooms are on the ground floor, the combination offices are located on the 1^st floor, the individual offices are on the 4^th floor, a conference room and the executive office are on the attic floor. The interior construction allowed for a wide range of possibilities of the floor plan concept for the various requirements and ensured a coherence between inside and outside area.
