Volketswil
The Coop Giardino project in Volketswil has resulted in a modern glass-enclosed garden center that attractively combines functionality, customer experience, and architectural quality. The new building expands the offerings of Coop Bau+Hobby with a spacious and contemporary area dedicated to gardening, plants, and outdoor products, while also creating an inspiring shopping experience for customers.
The striking glass architecture ensures optimal lighting conditions and provides ideal settings for displaying plants and gardening supplies. The open and transparent design creates a pleasant atmosphere and allows for easy navigation within the garden center. By integrating retail spaces, display areas, and well-designed customer pathways, a location has been created that is both functionally and architecturally compelling.
During the planning phase, special emphasis was placed on the efficient use of space and the integration of the building into its existing surroundings. The modern construction and high-quality execution create long-term value for both the operator and customers, strengthening the location’s position as an attractive shopping destination for garden and leisure products in the region.
HRS Real Estate AG executed the project as the general contractor and assumed overall responsibility for implementation with a full guarantee of cost, quality, and schedule. Thanks to precise planning and close collaboration with the client, the project was completed on schedule and to a high standard of workmanship. With Coop Giardino, a contemporary garden center has been created in Volketswil that combines modern architecture with an attractive shopping and nature experience.
