8 rooms single house

Architecturally and historically exceptional single-family house by the architect
Dr. Alice Biro, dipl. Arch. EPUL (EPFL), 1923-2018, inspired by the famous architect Alvar Aalto, who visited the house in 1968 together with his wife Elissa.

The house was designed for a family of five and the architect's studio. It impresses through its consistent integration into the north slope of the Zürichberg. Both living levels are connected at ground level with the garden. The square-designed floor plan with a central hall creates flowing transitions between living and working areas. Stylistically, the architecture is particularly close to that of Alvar Aalto.
