The residential development “Four Trees” is located in Kilchberg, south of Zurich’s city centre, and sits atop a moraine landscape, shaped by the Rhein-Linth glacier. The proposed building volumes are moved away from the natural ridgeline and placed along the slopes to create a large landscape park. The park becomes a central meeting point and a direct extension of the surrounding landscape.

The landscape concept is based on the exploration and discovery of the outdoor space through a meandering path, connecting four large existing trees and all building entrances with each other. The journey through the landscape begins at the foot of the hill, with a semi-public plaza featuring a drinking fountain and shaded benches. This also creates an address for the project, which is currently missing.
