Competition Focus Zug

The cantonal administration and Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe AG are planning a joint project for their space requirements on the Aa site in Zug. It is intended not only to solve the current space problems of both partners, but also to create the conditions for a future-orientated public service.

Blaser Architekten AG took part in the project competition organised by the Canton of Zug with the architectural firms Miroslav Sik and Joos & Mathys Architekten with the 'Palio' project. The guiding urban image of the development consists of two strongly defined perimeter buildings and a generously proportioned, meandering, publicly accessible outdoor space in the centre of the development. The spatially strong spatial setting of the square sequence, which is also enlivened by projections and recesses, consists of a continuous four-storey cubature. Three metropolitan, staggered towers and the high-rise of a later planned extension rise above the city centre. The 'Palio' project was awarded 4th place.
