The community hall at the Münsterhof is part of the high medieval square perimeter development at Zurich's Münsterhof. The house has 6 floors, 5 of which have now been renovated. The fixtures of the last decades are being removed. By exposing the visual axis between the two main rooms located on the façades, the depth of the house can be experienced and the flats appear more airy and spacious. The existing valuable surfaces are preserved and treated. Fractures are articulated and tell the story of the house.
