Refurbishment of Bombach Care Centre in Zurich
Although the architecture and the urban situation of the former nursing home were still of convincing quality, after more than four decades of use, a comprehensive refurbishment had become necessary. Entering the foyer today, with its view over the Limmat Valley to Uetliberg, one has the impression of being in a meticulously designed spa hotel. The architects were concerned above all with preserving the character and attributes of the existing development, while at the same time subtly heightening and extrapolating them. In addition, they sought to transform the atmosphere and standard of comfort to comply with modern demands.
