The Waldstadt im Pantli reinterprets the archetype of forest settlement while combining architectural clarity with ecological sensitivity. Switzerlands first forest village follows two orthogonal axes: urban alleyways contrast with natural meadow & forest edges. Each unit benefits from this duality—designed to open both toward communal, active zones and calm, green landscapes. The hybrid timber construction & varied facades emphasize individuality while forming a cohesive whole. The entire site remains carfree on ground level creating a seamless extension of the surrounding natural landscape.
