You can reach Zurich Airport within 40 minutes by public transport and the city of Lucerne in 20 minutes.

Optimally
accessible

The property at Hofstrasse 1 is situated in the ‘St. Michael’ district, in a central and preferred location in Zug. The casino, the picturesque old town with the Zytturm, the city library and Lake Zug with the Seeliken lido are all within walking distance. Furthermore, the property is conveniently located near bus and train connections, as well as a multitude of shopping facilities.

The property benefits form an optimal west-facing orientation, which allows for ideal sunlight. The spacious gardens, the closeness to the centre and the lake as well as the excellent public transport connections make the location especially attractive. Kindergarten and all lower levels of primary school are available at the close-by Burgbachschule. The Zugerberg is a local recreation area for hikers, bikers and nature enthusiasts.

Architecture
and design of
the new building

The three-storey building blends harmoniously into the surrounding landscape. The ground floor and first floor are embedded in the hillside to the east. Two separate parts of the building rise from the lower two storeys, a south and a north building, each with an additional attic storey. This division of the building creates a spatial relationship to the hillside and gives the building the appearance of a two-part structure, in keeping with the previous buildings.

The new building also remains true to the previous buildings in terms of its design and external appearance. The striking exterior walls provide a clear structure to the floor plans and characterise the appearance of the building. This gives the interiors a clear orientation and creates an attractive interplay between open and closed spaces.

Except for the penthouse apartments, all units have open and covered balcony or terrace areas as well as direct access to the garden. By separating public and private areas with the help of different terrain walls, a large part of the outdoor areas can be used privately, making the flats appear almost like independent houses thanks to their garden access.

Materialization

The parts of the building that are visible from the outside are made of exposed concrete and have deep, vertical inlays (so-called matrices). This fine structuring gives the concrete surface an elegant, three-dimensional appearance. Wood-metal windows are installed at floor-to-ceiling height between the wall elements, with railings positioned in front of them in a metal mesh construction. External venetian blinds are used to provide shade for the windows.
