About K.I.S.S. Residential Development 주거 개발

K.I.S.S.는 스위스 취리히에 위치한 46세대의 메종네트(복층형 주택)로 구성된 주거 개발 프로젝트이다. 입주자는 성격과 분위기가 서로 다른 세 가지 주거 유형 중에서 선택할 수 있다. 이 프로젝트는 자신의 개성과 생활 방식에 맞는 주거를 원하는 입주자들의 요구에 부응한다. 해당 지역의 시장 조사와 사회 변화에 대한 예측이 세 가지 유형을 정의하는 지침이 되었다. 노출 콘크리트, 스테인리스 스틸, 레진 바닥재, 합판 패널 등 경제적인 자재를 사용해 비용을 낮게 유지했다. 건물은 지상 8층과 지하 2층의 주차 공간으로 구성된다.

Unique Properties
K.I.S.S. is a bold residential development of 46 maisonettes that are very different from the usual white-wall single-story Swiss rental apartments. By offering tenants the choice of three different apartment typologies – funky, industrial and classic – K.I.S.S. responds to the future tenant needs for distinct apartments, which suit their individuality and lifestyle.
Dimensions & Packaging
K.I.S.S. consists of 8 floors above ground level and two floors of underground parking. The total apartment floor area is 4’800 m2 and the total commercial area is 700 m2.

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.
