Herostrasse 14

Project by Maria Uehli

The newly built office building is located at a main street near the train station Zürich Altstetten, thus a vivid neighborhood with many visitors. This specific entrance is placed on the side of the building, consequently it is not the main portal as it is not connected to the main street but to a parking lot between two buildings. The entrance is not only meant for people but is actually a cafeteria delivery, thus the size and it being a sliding door, which is handy for deliveries. The sliding door is designed to be housed within the wall. The door has a timber frame all around the glass of the door, as the door has windows. The timber frame is also around the door itself.

There are trees and bushes planted around the entrance almost hiding the entrance. To make it less hidden the entrance is equipped with a porch roof, this roof is a weather protection. A window is place over the porch. Generally, the entrance is surrounded by big windows, consequently it is very public. Thus, it is noticeable, that it is not a residential building, but an office building equipped with a cafeteria.
