For the Swiss energy supplier Primeo, an existing office space in Münchenstein was comprehensively reconfigured and adapted to the requirements of contemporary working environments. The focus lay both on the conceptual reorganisation of the floor plan and on the energetic and climatic refurbishment of the existing structure.
Built in the 1960s, the building tended to overheat on the upper floor, particularly during the summer months. To address the issue of insufficient insulation, a cooling ceiling system was implemented in combination with rammed earth materials, enabling a natural, condensation-free regulation of the indoor climate. In addition, automated blinds now respond to solar radiation, providing efficient summer heat protection and controlled light management.
