Priora builds in Buchs
On August 17, Priora General Contractor and the New Apostolic Church Switzerland as the building owner lay the foundation stone for a new building in Buchs (SG).
At the corner of St.Galler- and Carl-Hilty-Strasse in Buchs, in the immediate vicinity of Lake Werdenberg, a new church building is being constructed with an adjoining residential and commercial building.
The center of the project is the three-story church hall, which can accommodate 120 visitors. The second floor houses offices, classrooms and the gallery; the second floor will house technical, instrument and storage rooms. The church will be equipped with a passenger elevator over the three floors, and the entrances and rooms are designed to be handicapped accessible.
The material and color language of the church is adopted in the residential and commercial building, but with a simpler design of plastered facade surfaces. The first floor accommodates commercial and office space along St. Gallerstrasse. The majority of the apartments on the three upper floors face east or west.
Construction is expected to take about 15 months. (ah)
