Living close to nature – A vision becomes reality

October 2024

On an idyllic forest clearing near Schaffhausen, a development with over 200 condominiums is being built that blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings. Construction is scheduled to start at the end of 2024.

On a forest clearing near Schaffhausen, on the border with Stetten, a unique residential project is being realised that combines modern living with a quality of life close to nature. The innovative “Waldstadt im Pantli” project, acquired by Halter AG and developed by DOST Architektur GmbH, covers an area of 47,600 m² and offers space for more than 200 owner-occupied flats.

Focus on sustainability and living comfort
The architecture of the project is based on buildings with warm wooden façades that fit perfectly into the forest surroundings. The development ensures peace and security while offering a well thought-out infrastructure that meets the needs of future residents.
The focus on sustainability and environmental protection is particularly emphasised. The decision to make the entire site car-free above ground helps to preserve the natural environment and create a peaceful, safe open space. The residential buildings open up on several sides and, with their large window fronts, offer plenty of daylight and impressive views of the surrounding nature. Private outdoor spaces extend the living areas in an attractive way and create flowing transitions into the countryside.

Family-friendly infrastructure
Waldstadt im Pantli offers ideal conditions for families. An integrated kindergarten and daycare centre make the project particularly attractive for young families. A new bus stop and the proximity to the motorway with direct links to the cities of Schaffhausen, Winterthur and Zurich ensure optimal transport connections.

Diverse housing options for different needs
In the first construction phase, 104 owner-occupied flats will be realised, offering a wide range of flat types. These are designed to cater for different living requirements and allow for a broad mix of residents. The light-flooded rooms and proximity to nature make these flats attractive for families as well as couples and commuters.
The first construction phase is scheduled to take around two and a half years, meaning that the first flats are expected to be ready for occupation by the end of 2026. Further construction phases will follow seamlessly.

A housing estate that combines life and nature
The “Waldstadt im Pantli” is not just a residential project, but a new way of living together in harmony with nature. The combination of sustainable architecture, a strong community and optimal infrastructure makes this project a unique residential opportunity on the green outskirts of Schaffhausen.
