About K.I.S.S. Residential Development Dzīvojamais kompleksa attīstība

Book Text: K.I.S.S. ir dzīvojamais kompleks Cīrihē, Šveicē, kas ietver 46 divlīmeņu dzīvokļus (maisonetes). Iedzīvotāji var izvēlēties starp trim dzīvokļu tipoloģijām, kas atšķiras pēc rakstura un atmosfēras. Šis projekts atbilst iedzīvotāju vēlmei pēc mājokļiem, kas atbilst viņu individualitātei un dzīvesveidam. Trīs tipu definīciju noteica apkārtnes tirgus izpēte un sagaidāmās izmaiņas sabiedrībā. Cenas ziņā pieejami materiāli, piemēram, atsegts betons, nerūsējošais tērauds, sveķu grīdas segums un saplākšņa paneļi, palīdz saglabāt zemas izmaksas. Ēkai ir astoņi stāvi virs zemes un divi pazemes autostāvvietu līmeņi.

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.
