Circular Voids | Christian Kerez Architects
Energy efficient office building Holderbank / Switzerland / 2014
2
This project to build a 15,000 square meter competence center includes research laboratories, office space, and generous training facilities. Perfectly circular atria cut through ceilings and floors crisscross the building, creating opportunities for employees and visitors to meet one another while also providing a sense of the building’s size from within. Inner and outer loadbearing structures of the building are mutually-dependent, voids and passive solar heating allow a climate concept with a minimal technical installation with almost no core.
