The Family Home Cooperative Zurich (FGZ) is a building cooperative rooted in the Zurich district of Friesenberg , which builds and rents affordable apartments for all generations. The focus of the FGZ is on households with children and on housing offers for the post-childhood phase.

For the city of Zurich, it represents an urban ensemble in which the model of the garden city was realized spatially, socially, functionally and aesthetically and can be experienced in a unique way to this day (2017). The unprotected ensemble of cultural assets is important throughout Switzerland and is valued by experts as highly worthy of protection.

Garden city of Friesenberg

Family home cooperative: 1st and 2nd stage (1932)

The FGZ was founded in 1924 with the English garden cities as a model. The current 24 settlements were built in sections over the decades. The oldest of these date from the years 1925 to 1934. A second construction phase followed from 1943 and lasted until the early 1970s. From the 1980s, in addition to various new buildings, replacement buildings were also built for the previous settlements.

The «Gartenstadt Friesenberg» includes 155 apartment buildings and 865 single-family houses with a total of 2,197 apartments as well as ten school and commercial buildings. It has a largely car-free inner network of paths and gardens with great biodiversity . The FGZ is one of the largest and oldest building cooperatives in Switzerland, with the peculiarity that practically all residential properties are located on the Friesenberg and thus have a significant impact on the district.

The master plan published by the cooperative and the city of Zurich in 2016 provides for the demolition and a denser development. The historical core of the garden city with the founding stages I and II (architect Fritz Reiber) as well as stages 5 and 6 "Klein- und Grossalbis" (architect Heinrich Peter, stages 3 to 9 and cooperative house), which are intended for Switzerland as Architecturally-historically unique works of the New Building are considered, comparable to the Werkbundsiedlung Neubühl .
