Sulzer-Areal, Industrial heritage site in Winterthur, Switzerland.

The Sulzer-Areal spans 20 hectares southwest of Winterthur main station, containing numerous industrial buildings transformed into modern spaces.

Founded in 1834 as a metal foundry by Sulzer brothers, the site expanded over 150 years into a global industrial complex employing 33,000 people.

The former City Hall within the complex now houses the ZHAW main library, contributing to the educational and cultural development of Winterthur.

The redeveloped area offers 30,000 square meters of office space, 300 apartments, and accommodates up to 6,500 workplaces and 1,500 residents.
