A residential building on Birchstrasse, built in 1921, is part of a larger neighborhood development on the edge of Oerlikon. Four residential units have been renovated to meet today’s living standards. New sound absorption was built in to improve the acoustics in the apartments, while the careful renovation of the bathrooms and kitchens involved choosing colors and materials that reference the style of the building’s era.
