Transcript of tecDESIGN: Part 4 / Recent Projects
Status
Located on the shores of Lake Constance, on the Swiss side, this home was created for a young race car
driver and his wife. The home was design with the idea of living on the infinite plane between a virtual
and actual lake. This was accomplished by the using of travertine flooring inside and out, and a large
mirrored wall on the opposite side of the lake that relflects the image of the house and lake beyond it.
The open floor plan and slim mullioned sliding glass doors create the perfect atmosphere for outdoor
living and social gathers.

“LIVING ON THE INFINITE PLANE BETWEEN A VIRTUAL AND ACTUAL LAKE”
All interiors, exteriors and landscaping were
designed by tecDESIGN. Carefull detailing
of the living floor roof edge and sliding glass
facade were paramount in creating a successful
relationship of the inside and outside.
The interior conversation pit features a pop-up
tv and is custom designed for the space.

StatusKAMEHA GRAND HOTEL
Zürich, Switzerland
Located between the Airport and the heart of Zürich in the rapidly growing community of Opfikon, this
will be the second Grand Hotel in the Kameha line-up. At over 250 rooms, this Grand Hotel features
an event space for 1000, two top-tier resturants, including a sushi bar, and open kitchen designs and a
mini-forest situated above the underground parking, located in a sub-basement level.
The architecture displays a unique and highly energy efficient double-facade. The facade embraces the
streetscape with a gently curving pattern made posissible by custom horizontal mullion. The facade is
like an elegant dress flowing down the red carpet.

“THE FACADE IS LIKE AN ELE-GANT DRESS FLOWING ALONG THE RED CARPET.”
Technically, the architecture of the hotel is
executed in a very precise fashion. All areas of
the building are carefully detailed to the most
stringent of Swiss building codes and Minergie
standards. The facade utilizes two layers of
glass, interstitial sunshading and interior cur-
tains and blinds to allow the building to be finely
tuned to any daylighting and/or passive heating
& cooling situations.

THE GLASS DOUBLE FACADE WITH TRIPLE PANE WINDOWS AL-LOWS THE HOTEL TO BE FINELY TUNED.

One of the most important features of the hotel is its conference and event center. These elements
were carefully considered for appropriate adjacencies and ease of use. At 1,250 m2, the conference
and event spaces were also designed for maximum flexibility. The main bannquet rooms can be com-
bined into a larger conference space. There are rooms for small groups and large. The main event
space is located on the second floor and has vehicle access via a specialized exterior elevator. The
event space also has a separate entry area for bus-drop off.
The conference area also has direct access to the exterior garden area, where full grown trees will be
planted in an intensive green roof setup.

When famous car designer Sergio Scaglietti was designing his legendary racing cars in the 1950s and
60s, he coined a phrase that also applies to architecture – an approach that we have adopted as our
basic philosophy at our design studio in Los Angeles: It’s not only about form and function, but also the
passion that it creates. Cloud No 7 is a project whose design was developed with passion, whose shape
was drawn with the heart and soul of our designers and architects, with functionality meeting the highest
standards – representing the state of the art in technology in building services and sustainability.
