Wülflingen, a district of Winterthur, is known for its striking blend of traditional charm and modern needs. Challenges such as traffic, heat, and competing demands on limited space inspired us to respond with subtle but effective solutions: every available corner is used and transformed into a mosaic of public spaces.

Our approach strengthens the urban fabric through a combination of bold interventions—such as creating access to the Eulach river and planting the main square—and clear, simple guidelines to guide future development.

In this way, Wülflingen will preserve and strengthen its unique character, enrich public life, and gain a renewed, direct connection to the waterfront.
