Nietturm, Zurich

At the historic Schiffbau Zurich, the Venice rooftop bar has been created as an urban hotspot above the city’s rooftops. The former industrial hall, now a vibrant cultural and gastronomic venue, was expanded with this striking addition – a place where industrial heritage meets contemporary architecture.

The unique atmosphere is shaped above all by the large-scale air-lux drop-down windows. At the touch of a button, they open the bar to the outdoors, creating an exceptional sense of openness and panoramic views over Zurich. Interior and exterior merge into a bright, fluid space that guarantees maximum comfort in all weather conditions.

A prime example of how air-lux technology enhances architectural concepts and brings historic structures into the present day.
