Jabee Tower, Dübendorf

A site-specific intervention composed of interference-colored glass, aluminum, and concrete.

Translucent, 2.5-meter-tall vertical “glass fins” rise between the apartments, articulating proximity and distance. Their thin-film surfaces interact with incoming light, producing subtle chromatic shifts; as the sun moves and the day progresses, the façade continually changes in tone and intensity.

After dusk, a luminous LED band traces the building’s edge, softening its mass and transforming its silhouette into an abstract presence against the night sky.

Direct commission in collaboration with ADT and Sattler Partner Architects
