ORGANICA OSTRAVA
The ORGANICA building has risen on an urbanistically relaxed area of a former brownfield in Ostrava, which allowed the design of a distinctive solitaire building with striking and unusual architecture. The floor plan resembles a four-leaf propeller with an open circular atrium, enlivened by mature trees and seating combined with retail spaces, a canteen, a fitness center, and a café.

The heart of the building is a central circular atrium, serving as the main hub connecting different parts. The building's design maximizes natural light, thanks to its glass facades. Elevators, staircases, and necessary facilities are strategically placed in less-lit areas, ensuring efficiency and com... More

The Hive 8
Development of an administrative building for the Swiss electrical components group ‘LEM’, which is relocating its Geneva headquarters.
Market leader for innovative and high-quality solutions for the measurement of electrical parameters, LEM has chosen The Hive campus, dedicated to companies in the high value-added technology sector, to house its research and development activities and a production unit. Installed in the Hive 08 building, this new complex is perfectly in keeping with the spirit of The Hive campus.
The main functions are clearly expressed by the materiality of three superimposed volumes totalling more than 7,500 m² of GFA. The two lower levels, set in a concrete base, are dedicated to industry. The facade... More
Pallin-Panchaude
The Pallin-Panchaude project is located on the roadside in the commune of Pully. The parcel already had a structure, which had to be demolished, before a five-storey administrative building could be rebuilt. The base that is opened on the Avenue de Lavaux maintains the existing stone wall, which joins the Panchaude bridge and will eventually be transformed into a pedestrian link to the site. The prefabricated façade modules were all custom-designed, are efficient against road noises while meeting all the criteria required to achieve the Minergie label.

UVEK Pulverstrasse Ittigen
Since 2006, the administrative centre of the federal authorities in Ittigen has housed agencies of the Swiss Confederation, namely the departments of environment, traffic, energy, and communications. In an open competition for a two-stage expansion by 900 workstations, the jury chose the proposal by Berrel Kräutler Architekten. The existing complex is being extended with logical consistency via a pair of elongated, compact buildings having the same alignment. Emerging is a vibrant campus with rhythmically staggered open areas and pathways. By 2020, the first building was finished, and it is now occupied.
In plan and section, the new seven-story building is clearly structured volumetrically. Configured around a central concrete... More
LVM 5 high-rise building
In view of its unusual cubature and glass façade reminiscent of ground stone, the LVM high-rise building opened in Münster in 2014 has been dubbed the “crystal”. Covering a total of 6000 square metres, the double glass façade was developed from geometrical shapes and extends at an angle in various directions. The 17-storey building rises to a height of 63 metres over the Münster landscape. At a height of 40 metres, the new building is connected by a 20-metre long bridge to the existing LVM administrative building.The square between the two towers is integrated with an open space into the public area at Kolde-Ring. This public “ArtForum Aasee” provides a stage for various art and culture events... More
