Weggishof Lake Lucerne Apartments
The Weggishof, a mixed-use development in Weggis on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, is a wood hybrid construction and consists of 39 apartments made of prefabricated wooden elements. These are intersected with a bracing concrete fundament, which houses 1’200 m2 of commercial space with public uses.

We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Lucerne Building Developments, Switzerland. We aim to include Swiss projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed Lucerne buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across the city area. The focus is on contemporary Swiss buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.

We have 1 page of Lucerne Architecture selections with links to many individual project pages.

Holzer Kobler Architekturen, which undertook the redesign of the shopping center, focused especially on the visitor’s flow as well as the redesign of the interior. The main architectural and design changes occur at the main entrance and in the central atrium.

Swiss Museum of Transport
The new entrance building forms a bridge-like link between the existing buildings on Lidostrasse (the IMAX, the Rail Transport Hall and the high-rise building). It contains on the ground floor the ticket office, shop area and both restaurants – one offers table service and opens towards the lake, the other is conceived as a self-service restaurant that stretches out like fingers into the arena.
