Wankdorf City
We participated in the design and build competition in collaboration with Losinger Marazzi. Our project won the 1st prize. The client brief of SBB was to design a sustainable office building with around 600 workstations on 5 floors to become the new SBB office building in Bern Wankdorf. The aim is to foster a closer collaboration of the co-workers on one site, instead of several offices dispersed throughout the city area. The floor plan is very simple and highly flexible with two central cores. Two existing egress exits and shafts from the underground parking are integrated into the new building. Their organic shapes form the only two ‘disruptive elements’ of the overall linear architectural language that is mirroring the geometrical grids of the surrounding office buildings, while creating a strong identity for the new SBB headquarters. To meet the ambitious sustainability goals of the client brief, the project team developed with holzprojekt and WMM Ingenieure a structural system with minimal use of concrete. The floors above ground are executed in a flexible timber construction, that can eventually be fully dismantled and re-used.
