ZUMIKON RESIDENCE
ZUMIKON, SWITZERLAND
The 27,000 square foot site overlooks the town of Zumikon and Lake Zurich. Views of hillside pastures to the east and north are complimented by vistas of the lake and the Alps to the south. Zoning laws limited the building area to 10,225 square feet and the topography of the site, which slopes up toward the north approximately thirty-three feet, and the height of the building.
