About K.I.S.S. Residential Development Stambeni kompleks
K.I.S.S. je stambeni kompleks u Zürichu, Švicarska, koji sadrži 46 dupleks stanova. Stanari mogu birati između tri tipologije stanova, koje se razlikuju po karakteru i atmosferi. Kompleks odgovara na želju stanara za domovima koji odgovaraju njihovoj individualnosti i stilu života. Istraživanje tržišta u tom području i očekivane promjene u društvu usmjerili su definisanje ova tri tipa. Pristupačni materijali poput izloženog betona, nehrđajućeg čelika, smolastih podova i oplate od šperploče održavaju niske troškove. Zgrada ima osam nadzemnih spratova i dva podzemna nivoa za parkiranje.

- Production Technology
- K.I.S.S. has received a Minergie certification. The ecological heating system uses a geothermal heat pump for heating and cooling. The structure was developed to enable long-term flexibility. This allows for an easy interconnection of individual apartments. The facades are insulated with 25 cm insulation. A special stucco render with 5 layers gives a special effect of shifting colors. All window frames are angled in different directions to create light reflections, adding a feeling of movement.
- Design Challenge
- In order to meet the needs of future tenants for the different spaces and atmospheres but at the same time to keep the building costs low to appeal to a younger market segment, readily available technologies and materials were maximally used in the development of K.I.S.S. Exposed concrete, stainless steel, resin flooring, plywood paneling and bespoke graffiti are a few elements that created the individual look of each apartment, yet are affordable materials to use.
- Research
- An intensive market research of the area, its infrastructure, its typical employees and their income class was conducted. This knowledge, together with the anticipated future changes in society (Sinus-Milieu Model), helped classifying potential customers of similar lifestyles and perceptions into three specific target groups. As a result, three different apartment typologies were designed to meet their needs.
- Inspiration
- The demand for identity and individuality in the rental market has massively increased in the last years, therefore the main aim was to create a low-cost rental development that targets young people by going beyond the functionality and meeting their growing needs for expressing their individuality and plurality.
- Project Duration
- The building works started in April 2009 and finished in July 2012. Location: Zurich, Switzerland.
- Operation Flow
- K.I.S.S. is a residential development with 46 apartments on 1-7 floors and some commercial areas on the ground floor.
