Apartment Arbenzstrasse is a minimalist building located in Zürich, Switzerland, designed by Liis Architecture. The renovation sought to revitalize a 1920s building by expanding the space through reorientation of the internal programs. By setting the door openings more precisely, more light penetrates into the interior of the apartment and the view can move freely from room to room or to the outside. Further interventions such as the expansion of the screed to the apartment or the renewal of building services, lift and sound insulation were made very carefully to preserve the charm of the house.
