Roche Building 1
Site Development Building 1 is one of the tallest and most distinctive buildings on the Roche site in Basel, marking a progression from the development plan that has gradually emerged out of the original Hoffmann-La Roche AG industrial complex. The building is situated in the southern sector of the Roche grounds, alongside Building 52, previously the highest structure. The continued development of the Roche grounds follows the 2006 plan drawn up by Roche to introduce structural clarity by locating research and development in the northern sector and the global corporate headquarters in the southern sector. Building 1 is the embodiment of that vision of clarity on Grenzacherstrasse. The site is currently flanked to the east and the south by production and research buildings which can be replaced in the course of site development by new office buildings in keeping with the plans. High-rise Typology In designing the 178m tower, the main focus was on developing a high-rise typology that visualizes and fosters the internal organization and communication within the various departments.
