Mühle Grüsch / Switzerland

A historical grain mill and silo tower in Grüsch, a village located in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, is being converted by Barkow Leibinger into a modern residential complex. Dating back to the 16th century, the mill was decommissioned in 2010. Currently, a two-part development plan sees the residential conversion of the existing mill building, while rebuilding the attached silo tower anew in its former contour as a 10-story high-rise.

The apartments within the nearly 35-meter high tower are laid out in a stepped, spiraling motion around a central core. Open, tiered levels create spaces that are flexible, yet clearly zoned, offering a variety of interspatial relationships, a diverse topography and open views onto the Prättigau landscape.
