New Look for Four Buildings.

Three architects combined four buildings with four different constructions into a cohesive whole.

The four buildings, located on site C30 in the disused area along Zurich’s main railway station, were designed by Swiss architects Max Dudler and Gigon/Guyer, and British architect David Chipperfield. The client is the largest bank in the financial country, UBS. GIG executed the contracts simultaneously for the main contractor Implenia.

The ensemble of four buildings based on four differing constructions was designed by three architects into one appearance. The buildings are linked by bridge crossings.

We implemented unitized façades in a box-type window look, a building shell with exposed concrete and punched windows and double skin façades. For this construction, we have produced glass incorporating laminated sefar-mesh. Thus, the façade was enabled to “play” with the changing daylight.
