- Infos on the ProjectNew-build Center for Light EngineeringThe creation of future-orientated architecture was fully realized. The final result was a lightweight construction incorporating the technologies of tomorrow.
- Infos on the ProjectThe design planning was shaped by three main prerequisitesFirstly, the high efficiency of the building’s functionality, secondly, the urban visual impact and, thirdly, the role of communication between the employees.
- Infos on the ProjectSuccessful interplay of classical architecture and modern elementsTo successfully combine the functionality, urban visual impact and the communication within, the entire building was divided and structured around two inner courtyards.
- Infos on the ProjectIntroducing more daylight and natural ventilationElements of classical architecture - together with the main staircase - form the backbone of the building.
- Infos on the ProjectModern working environmentThe layout design provides a neutral and open-plan work space, ultimately fulfilling today’s philosophy of the "Flexible Office" as a new and innovative working environment.
- Urban architecture for tomorrow's technologies.The vision to create a future-orientated building was a complete success. The lightweight construction center is a perfect symbol of the interplay between the various departments and cutting-edge technologies.
