WAI 2020
Replacement new building

Architecty: AMJGS
Client: Private
Construction: Rhyner Baumanagement
Location: Glarus, Switzerland
Execution Year: 2021

The Abläsch quarter in Glarus was spared in the great fire of Glarus in 1861. The houses in the dense rows of houses have been continuously renovated and replaced - a streetscape that is alive. The stone house on Waisenhaussstrasse remains stone, even when replaced. With a central concrete core as staircase walls and an outer shell in single-stone masonry, it fits into the row.
