Swatch office building

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.

Leeds, UK
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.
