Papieri Site: Living and working space in old factory buildings
Cham, Switzerland / 04.2020 - 06.2022
By 2015, four paper machines were still in operation in the factory halls of the Papieri site. PORR SUISSE is now building 52 lofts and 7 studios in the halls, which have been classified as historical monuments.
The aim is to transform the historic structure of the ensemble into a modern building that meets the highest demands for living and working space. The existing buildings will first be restored to their primary structure of reinforced concrete with infill masonry and then supplemented with new elements such as cores, stairs, walls and ceilings.
