Werkbundsiedlung Neubühl, Modernist housing complex in Wollishofen, Switzerland
The Neubühl estate features 121 buildings with 194 apartments arranged in parallel rows, maximizing sunlight exposure and natural air circulation throughout the property.
Built between 1930 and 1932 during the Great Depression, the Neubühl settlement represents Switzerland's first comprehensive implementation of New Building architectural principles.
The initial residents included artists, writers, musicians, and architects who formed a community dedicated to modern living principles in the southern outskirts of Zürich.
Three museum houses within the settlement remain inhabited while offering scheduled guided tours to visitors interested in exploring this architectural landmark.
The estate's gardens, designed by Gustav Ammann, incorporate buildings positioned perpendicular to streets to reduce traffic noise and dust exposure.
