RECORD
- Building Type:
- Rail Infrastructure
- Location:
- Au ZH
- Year of Construction:
- 1981
- Object Description:
-
The service building in Au ZH was built in 1981.
Originally used as a service building for the railway station, it was partly demolished around 2002. Only the western section remains in its initial shape, a new part was added in place of the demolished part. Today, the new section houses a convenience store, the older section is estimated to still be a service building for SBB.
The historic part of the building still has the characteristical appearance of an exposed concrete façade. Rectangular lighting slits, which can often be seen in Max Vogts designs, are featured on the northern and southern façades.
- Spatial Context:
- The building is situated as a single-storey cuboid in between the Seestrasse and the railway tracks, embedded at the bottom of the slope of the terrain that rises on both sides of the station. To the east of the convenience store there is another historic railway building. Together, they open up a square-like situation which is spatially separated from the Seestrasse by a decrease in ground level.
