About K.I.S.S. Residential Development Fampandrosoana Trano Fonenana

Ny K.I.S.S. dia fampandrosoana trano fonenana any Zurich, Suisse, izay misy trano roa rihana (maisonette) 46. Afaka misafidy karazana trano telo samy hafa ny mpanofa, izay tsy mitovy amin'ny toetra sy ny tontolo iainany. Ity fampandrosoana ity dia mamaly ny fanirian'ny mpanofa hanana trano mifanaraka amin'ny maha-izy azy sy ny fomba fiainany. Ny fikarohana ara-tsena momba ny faritra ary ny fiovana andrasana eo amin'ny fiaraha-monina no nitarika ny famaritana ireo karazana telo ireo. Ny fitaovana mora vidy toy ny simenta miharihary, ny vy tsy misy harafesina, ny gorodona rezina ary ny takelaka plywood dia mampihena ny vidiny. Ny trano dia manana rihana valo eo ambonin'ny tany ary sokajy roa fitobiana fiara any ambanin'ny tany.

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.
