Only a few minutes away from Zurich's main railway station lies one of the city's most exciting sites: the former Löwenbräu brewery. The Löwenbräu Zurich project - a residential and an office building as well as an extension to the existing art center - was created round the listed assemblies built in along Limmatstrasse.
