Isola-Areal - Breitenbach

An attractive area with residential, service and commercial uses is to be built on the 114,280 m² site in stages over the next few years. The existing and well-functioning local centre is to be expanded according to specific uses. In addition, new attractive green spaces will create added value in the future. The currently closed area of the former Isola works and Von Roll will be opened up to the population. They can look forward to new, attractive meeting and green zones that will replace the existing company roads and storage areas. By phasing the development, the municipality and the owner are ensuring that the development will be even and compatible.

For the development of the Isola site from a purely industrial and commercial zone to a site with residential, work and leisure uses, a rezoning is necessary. As a basis for a common understanding of the spatial development of the site, an urban planning and open space planning test planning procedure was carried out. Several renowned architectural firms and landscape architects were invited to prepare proposals for the development of the site. Subsequently, a partial spatial concept was developed.
