Hardstrasse 319 is a striking administrative building from the 1950s that continues to shape the industrial identity of the Escher-Wyss site to this day. With its clearly structured form, robust clinker brick façade, and rhythmic ribbon windows, the listed building embodies the functional architecture of the post-war period. Since 2016, the property has been gradually renovated and carefully modernized by Forster & Uhl Architects with the aim of preserving its historical substance while meeting the requirements of modern office use. Inside, bright, contemporary working environments with generous ceiling heights and clear structures have been created, allowing for flexible use. The location remains the headquarters of an industrial company and forms an identity-defining anchor point in the changing Zurich West district. The successful combination of historical substance and modern functionality makes Hardstrasse 319 an authentic place for future-oriented work with history.
