Sihlpost, Post office building near Zürich main station, Switzerland

The Sihlpost stretches 123 meters along the Sihl River, featuring 800 windows and a prominent clock tower visible from multiple points in the city center.

Brothers Adolf and Heinrich Bräm constructed this building between 1927 and 1930, implementing Robert Maillart's engineering techniques with reinforced concrete and mushroom ceilings.

The building represents the Neues Bauen architectural movement, marking Zürich's transition to modernism through its structural design and functional elements.

The renovated structure contains 5,400 square meters of office space, 30 meeting rooms, a restaurant, three micro-kitchens, and a lecture room for 100 people.

The interior design incorporates wooden shipping crate-style meeting rooms and rippled glass partitions that maintain visibility of building services.
