Schiffbau

Workshops, studio, rehearsal stages and other facilities of the Zurich Schauspielhaus (theatre) previously scattered across different sites are gathered together here to form a centre on the former Sulzer-Escher-Wyss industrial site (shipyard). The Schiffbauhalle (shipbuilding shed), which is under a preservation order, was adapted to serve as foyer and hall theatre. A jazz forum and restaurant are also located here. Directly connected with it is the new building organised around a courtyard, which houses all the workshops and offices of the Schauspielhaus and, at the top, a ring of two-storey privately owned apartments arranged around an internal courtyard that can also used be used as an open-air theatre.
