The primary school with the latest gymnasium and multi-purpose hall, the boat landing station and swimming area are within walking distance of the chestnut grove. Secondary schools are in the neighbouring village of Weggis; High schools in nearby Immensee and in Lucerne. Greppen is an ideal starting point for leisure activities, especially bike, mountain and water sports. Shopping facilities and various farm shops are available locally and in Küssnacht.
The residential quarter of “Kastanienhain” is located on a gentle hilltop and offeringbreathtaking views to the south and west of the lake and Mount Pilatus. The vibrant village life is shaped by numerous businesses and events,particularly the famous "Cheschtene Chilbi," the largestchestnut market in German-speaking Switzerland. The festival, which takes place annually at the end of October, is all about the tradition of the sweet chestnut, which has been native here for decades.
Intelligent planning is the foundation of intelligent construction. Based on this premise, the Kastanienhain residential project was developed.
The aim was to build upon the qualities of the picturesque landscape while respecting local building traditions and historical development. At the same time, the design meets contemporary standards for modern living. The property is accessed via a quiet privateroad.
The architecture directly references the timber construction traditions of Central Switzerland, drawing from the characteristics that define Greppen's village aesthetic. Four intelligently placed dwellings blend into the topography of the slope. Light masonry, understated glazing, and high-quality wooden facades determine the aesthetics.
The houses' coloursand cladding patterns vary subtly, creating visual diversity up close and unity from afar. The choice of materials and colours results in an ideal appearance harmonized with the surrounding landscape. This is a modern reinterpretation of rural architecture.
The Kastanienhain residential complex is part of a comprehensive design plan that will guide the future development of the neighbourhood. Shortly, three wooden houses with rental apartments will be constructed to the south.
Thanks to resourceful land use, much open space remains. The feeling of “living in the countryside” is tangible and real. This aspect is underlined by the fact that the area merges uphill into open nature, characterised by forest, stream and mountain.
The green spaces between the buildings areprimarily designed as natural meadow areas, extending around the structures as generous vegetation carpets with native perennial plantings. The boundaries between landscape architecture and nature are fluid.
Tall fruit trees arranged in varying densities define the landscape, echoing ecologically valuable meadows. This theme continues with the chestnut grove adjacent to the residential complex, which inspired the project's name. Planned is a light, park-like grove of sweet chestnuts, complementing the "Rigi-Cheschtene-Weg" that runs through Greppen.
