The studio that designed the restoration of the former Tobler complex and its redevelopment, with a particular focus on sustainability, environmental compatibility, and energy efficiency, was awarded the "Revealed Architectures" prize in 2012. It is recognized as a noteworthy example of condominium planning that prioritizes community and social spaces over intensive space exploitation. This is evident in the central common courtyard featuring plants and a water basin, reflecting a commitment to communal living. Additionally, the project emphasizes attention to pedestrian and vehicular accessibility.
The windows, all made of thermally broken aluminum, are equipped with high-performance glass providing both thermal and acoustic insulation, along with motorized sun shading systems..
In the courtyard, the architect strongly desired to design volumes with dramatic three-dimensional features: projections and recesses that animate the facade. Everything was custom-designed and crafted, from the substructure to the cladding in colored sheet metal.
