The new building blends seamlessly into the production process at the existing site and ensures future-proof operations and efficient processes with its «Industry 4.0» tailored construction concept. The basis for the design is formed of a robust primary structure with stacked floor spaces and eight strong cores. The platforms can be allocated different uses, for example as workshops or offices. The support-free halls enable the highest level of flexibility. In the centre of the construction is a spacious atrium which structures the building in its role as an inner clearing and promotes communication and vertical transparency. With its low-tech approach, the design seeks to create a building which deploys technical solutions sparingly. The two-layer shell of the building with no moving or motorised components ensures balanced lighting and shade in the workplace throughout the seasons.
