Residential buildings Hochstrasse Zurich

The ABZ cooperative apartment buildings on Hochstrasse in Zurich Fluntern, built by Otto Streicher in 1926, were last extensively renovated in the mid-1970s. The aim was to preserve the external appearance and the internal spatial structure in their essence. Therefore, it was decided to apply an aerogel high-performance insulation plaster Fixit 222 to the façades, while retaining the existing jambs. Foto: Markus Frietsch

The late Gothic building presumably served as a chaplaincy for the foundation of the Bullingerpfründe in 1460 and became a helper's house after its re-catholicisation in 1531. The approximately 500-year-old property, which is now a historic monument, has been renovated time and again over the course of its use, most recently 60 years ago completely and in 1990 with a gentle interior and exterior renovation.

Since the historic building is covered by a preservation order, it was not possible to use mineral-wool insulation on its outdoor surfaces. The owners wished to retain the original character of the building, for which reason they decided that Fixit 222 High Performance Insulating Render should be used, also because the walls were bowed and not vertical. Internal renovation was carried out with a layer thickness of 30 – 80 mm of Fixit 222 Aerogel flexible high performance insulating plaster over quarry stone walls.

Architecturally and aesthetically valuable exposed concrete walls were energy efficiently renovated by applying layer of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Insulating Plaster to the indoor faces. The appearance was maintained unchanged. The excellent thermal insulation meant that a minimal application of just 5 cm of plaster was adequate to achieve the required performance.

Energy-efficient renovation of 48 apartments in 8 residential buildings. Some 2'800 m² of Fixit 222 Aerogel High Performance Thermally Insulating Plaster and 600 m² AeroCalce non-woven fabric matting were applied, the former directly onto the existing plaster substrate. This technique was economic despite the higher material outlay because it allowed the entire renovation to be completed in one step rather than two, as initially envisaged. On completion the façades appear practically unchanged, whilst the energy consumption has been halved.
