Senior housing “Projekt Silber” in Schaffhausen: from competition win to realisation

The senior housing development “Projekt Silber” in Schaffhausen gave reasco.immo the opportunity to accompany a demanding residential project from the competition idea through to realisation.

The starting point was the architectural competition held by the City of Schaffhausen. The reasco.immo project convinced the jury and was awarded 1st place. The jury particularly praised the finely structured integration of the buildings into the slope, the quality of the living spaces created and the concept for fostering community.

Architecture for age-appropriate living

The planning focused on how a residential complex for older people can be designed not only to be functional, but also as a place for people to meet. The arrangement of the buildings and shared areas creates a variety of spaces to spend time and meet, and integrates the development into its surroundings.

The concept thus addresses both the requirements of living in later life and the social quality of a shared living environment.

From architectural competition to general planning

After the competition success, reasco.immo continued to accompany the project with general planning and architecture across SIA work phases 31 to 53 from then on.

Planning took place in 2014 and 2015. The senior housing development was built in 2016 and 2017. The investment volume for BKP 1 to 6 was around CHF 14 million.
