Siedlung Rietholz - H+A Hubacher

The Rietholz Housing Estate, located in Zollikerberg, Switzerland, and completed in 1959, garnered great praise for its trailblazing prefabricated construction. Designed by the famous Zurich-based office of H + A Hubacher, the complex is made up of 300 apartments, manifested in five different building types. Today, Rietholz remains an impressive example of how differentiated and high-quality architecture can be created through the use of standardised building elements. This publication explores its history and continuing relevance in terms of 20th-century architectural solutions.
