Planning an ophthalmology practice in the heart of Zurich from Düsseldorf was very courageous, says Kathrin Schmack Managing Director of Genius Loci Baukultur.
To realize the conversion as general contractor in a time window of 2 ½ months, with its own team of craftsmen from Germany in Switzerland, seemed foolhardy.
Already in advance, an inventory of the old practice, which is located in a building from the 1900 century, had to be made in Zurich.
From two residential units of 135 sqm each, an ophthalmology practice with 270 sqm and 7 treatment rooms was created.
CONCEPTUAL SPECIFICATION
Everything, whether floor, furniture, fixtures, electrical, lighting, data network, plumbing, sunscreen and blackout, was to be replaced.
The feel-good factor for the practice team as well as the patients was the focus of the planning.
Dr. Sven Hirsch-Hoffmann, the head physician, decided that the processes should be improved considerably by a new IT system. Nothing was left to chance in the planning as well as in the realization phase.
INTERIOR DESIGN WITH THE HUMAN BEING IN THE CENTER OF ATTENTION
When an architecture and interior design firm like Genius Loci Baukultur also has to take care of the import customs declaration for Switzerland, the transport of the furniture, the lighting, the flooring, the official registration in Switzerland with the Ministry of Economy and Finance, in other words, everything, it is already a planning and logistical challenge that was mastered.
We were able to hand over beautiful new practice rooms to the client on schedule and to a very high standard.
Genius Loci Baukultur likes Switzerland, Europe and the rest of the world and we know what quality is required and how good our price/performance ratio is.
