苏黎世里斯巴赫市Signaustrasse的地标别墅是由建筑师Pfleghard&haefili于1912年建造的。它与花园形成了一个连贯的空间实体——由当时受雇于弗罗贝尔兄弟的年轻古斯塔夫·安曼设计——标志着从风景如画的住宅花园向更为正式的建筑花园的过渡。然而，不幸的是，这座花园在20世纪60年代被摧毁，当时房子被改造成了办公楼，并修建了停车位。经过最新的改造，并以一种类似于建筑花园的方式重建花园，这座建筑恢复了以前的地位。
The landmarked villa on Signaustrasse in Zurich-Riesbach was built in 1912 by the architects Pfleghard & Haefeli. It formed a coherent spatial entity with the garden – designed by the young Gustav Ammann, who was employed by the Froebel brothers at the time – which marked the transition from a picturesque house garden to a more formal architectural garden. Unfortunately, however, the garden was destroyed in the 1960s when the house was converted into an office building and parking spaces were built. With the newest conversion and by re-establishing the garden in a manner that harks back to the architectural garden, the building has regained its former stature.
这座两层别墅的平面布置简单，反映了当时中上层阶级的生活观念和社会地位。在底层，入口大厅和前厅构成了到达和流通的中心空间层。与之相邻的是用于起居、就餐和社交活动的大房间。带厨房和衣帽间的辅助房间位于街道的对面。一个玻璃阳台过渡到花园。在上层，大厅变宽，可以进入私人房间，大部分房间面向花园。阁楼里有更多的卧室和供工作人员使用的房间。
The floor plan of the two-story villa has a simple layout that reflected the upper-middle-class notions of living and social status of its day. On the ground floor, the entrance hall and vestibule constitute a central spatial layer of arrival and circulation. Adjoining it on the sides are large rooms for living, dining, and social activities. The ancillary rooms with kitchen and coatroom are located toward the street. A glassed-in veranda makes the transition to the garden. On the upper floor, the hall widens and gives access to the private rooms, most of which face the garden. In the attic were more bedrooms as well as rooms for the staff.
该项目的私人客户再次将别墅改造成新用途。这项努力包括将房子改造成高档的床和早餐，在楼上和阁楼上有九间客房。为了创建新的套房浴室，将小的间隔层房间分开并分配给角落的房间。卫生设施连接在新的隔墙内，这将对受保护建筑材料的影响降至最低。一楼和花园的社交房间供客人使用，但业主也将这些房间用于私人活动和接待。此外，地下室还设有一个可单独进入的私人电影院和门厅。最后，该项目还包括安装新的建筑服务和建造一个小型地下车库。
The private client for the project is again adapting the villa to a new use. The endeavor comprised conversion of the house into an upscale bed & breakfast, with nine guest rooms on the upper floor and in the attic. To create new en-suite bathrooms, small interstitial rooms were split and allocated to the corner rooms. The sanitary connections run within the new partition walls, which minimized the impact on the protected building substance. The social rooms on the ground floor and the garden are for the use of the guests, but the owner also makes use of these rooms for private events and receptions. Also for that purpose, a separately accessible private cinema and foyer have been integrated into the basement. Finally, the project also included the installation of new building services and construction of a small underground garage.
