There was a small parking garage in the middle of the rural surrounding of Zurich,Switzerland. Although this old parking garage was built with industrially manufactured products, the ravages of time gnawed at it, so that it lent the landscape a desolate expression. We have been entrusted with the task of renewing the parking garage and thus generating a new, refreshing expression in addition to the functionality. Titanium sheet was chosen for the materialization of the small house. It also has the ability to record traces of time without disintegrating or degenerating. Its surface absorbs the natural patina and, due to its different reflective effects, it opens up a playful scope for action. The facade of the parking garage is designed as a folded structure that surrounds all sides and oscillates between the green, organic environment and technical durability.
