Sonnenhof retirement centre

Gentle, delicate structure

The striking stoneware facade of the retirement home in Wil, Switzerland, is characterized by a kind of double wave with pointed high points, rounded intermediate areas and slightly angular edges. The design, developed together with AGROB BUCHTAL, provides for a differentiated interplay of light and shadow of exciting plasticity and gives the façade a soft, delicate structure. Julia Kirsten Eisenhuth of Meier Hug Architekten: "The glossy glaze reflects the surroundings and emphasizes the lively appearance."
