What Makes the MEIER UNGER ARCHITEKTEN HAUS SCHOLL a Game-Changer in Modern Architecture?

Retirement homes are an essential aspect of housing for the elderly in Switzerland. One such retirement home, known as "Stöckli," has been designed by a team of architects to provide a comfortable and modern living experience for retired farmers. Located in the Aare plain between the mountain ranges, the Stöckli stretches out as a long structure, opening up strongly into the landscape.
Designed by a team of architects from Switzerland, the new building is situated south of the homestead, providing a balance between being part of the community while also allowing retirees to lead an independent life. The Stöckli is a perfect example of how modern architecture can cater to the changing needs of society, while also showcasing the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The arbours, supported on the long sides by rows of supports, form the essential space between the landscape and the interior, and on the other hand, with the strong signs pointing south and north, they create a powerful expression and a calm presence. The design of the Stöckli is a result of a long joint search, experimentation, design, and trying out.
The architects paid close attention to the materialization of the building, ensuring that it not only provides a comfortable living experience but also looks stunning. The extraordinary wooden constructions, the detailed execution, and the furniture painting are all testaments to the effort and care put into Stöckli's design.
In conclusion, the Stöckli retirement home, designed by a team of architects, is a perfect example of modern architecture's ability to cater to the changing needs of society. The Stöckli provides a comfortable and modern living experience for retirees, while also showcasing the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
