Hanging gardens for Maggie’s Centre in Leeds
The 26th Maggie’s Centre was created in Leeds based on a design by architects from Heatherwick Studio in London. The structure comprises three nested pavilions of prefabricated timber elements. A total of 240 laminated timber elements were milled at our production site in Switzerland for this purpose. The pavilions were also prefabricated in our Swiss production halls in timber frame construction and then transported by truck to Leeds where our team carried out the assembly on site.

Cultural House
Basel, Switzerland
Extraordinary roof construction for Cultural House
The outstanding roof construction for the cultural hall was inspired by the traditional Zollinger roof. Our Free Form-specialists were responsible for the development of this barrel-shaped ceiling structure, as well as the production and assembly of it. The exposed diamond pattern in the ceiling gives the space a dramatic feel and also has a positive effect on the acoustics. A total of 140m3 of timber was used for the entire hall, including the acoustic strip profiles made of Swiss silver fir.
Swatch office building
Biel, Switzerland
Precise parametric planning for Swatch office building
The new Swatch headquarters in Biel, Switzerland is a real architectural landmark. The sensational design by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban connects the buildings of the Omega and Swatch brands not only through the Cité du Temps building but also via a spectacular Free Form supporting structure comprising a gigantic timber lattice shell. The 11,000 m2 roof support structure is the largest wooden lattice shell construction that our company has ever produced. 6,500 Swiss spruce trees supplied the timber needed.
A flower-shaped timber roof for the Holland Casino in Venlo
Yeoju-gun, South Korea
More timber structures for Hasley Nine Bridges Golf Resort in South Korea
The new casino in Venlo opened at the beginning of July. The design by MVSA Architects plays on a flower theme and lays four organically shaped floor levels one above the other like the petals of a flower head for the casino in Venlo. With the organic forms of its architecture and an interactive facade shimmering in all hues, MVSA Architects makes a striking allusion to the importance of flowers in the Netherlands. The concept for the interior of the casino was developed together with the Las Vegas-based interior design firm Gensler.
