Unique loft unit in the legendary Stufenbau
The unique and legendary Stufenbau is located on the outskirts of Ittigen and houses a variety of users. The former nitrocellulose factory, a Swiss cultural asset of regional importance, was converted in 1988 by the Atelier5 architects and was included in the inventory of cantonal art monuments of the heritage preservation in 1990. For a long time, the Stufenbau was known as a trendy cultural venue for concerts, parties, theater, and art exhibitions. Today, the Stufenbau belongs to various floor owners who operate different businesses there and/or use the premises as original loft apartments. Since 2013, the two upper floors have been used as a stylish event location. Unmistakable architecture The terraced reinforced concrete building under slightly sloping concrete roofs with skylights has a centrally located access axis with a sloping lift for goods transport. Attached to it is a tower-like building structure that breaks through the stepped facility in a suspenseful manner. Net rent: CHF 3'500.- (including parking spaces) Ancillary costs account: CHF 700.-Room description This unique loft unit is located on the third floor, on the right side of the building, and combines industrial character with modern, minimalist architecture in an impressive way. The combination of generous spatial effect, plenty of daylight, and clear design makes this unit a special place for professional, creative, or residential uses. The highlights at a glance: Light-flooded, spacious loft/studio room on 179 m². Impressive room height and many large windows and skylights that create a unique play of light and give the room a sense of generosity. Three separate rooms, supplemented by a small retreat room and a practical réduit. Sanitary area with a shower, two toilets, and a sink. Five parking spaces: 4 x uncovered, 1 x covered Kitchen/tea kitchen: If used as a residential studio, a fully equipped kitchen can be installed (the connections are already available). If used as an office, a practical tea kitchen would make more sense. Both variants would be installed by the owner in consultation with the tenants. Co-use of outdoor areas: In the natural forest area on the steep slope, there is a terrace on the 1st floor on the east side, equipped with a grill and tables. Diverse usage possibilities, for example as office or studio spaces (architecture office, graphic or design studio, IT supporter), residential studio, loft apartment, creative or movement room.
