The task of designing a new sorting hall for the recycling centre in Tännlimoos is exciting on a socio-political level: Processing, recycling and the gentle handling of cultivated land are important themes today. The form, placement and expression of the hall develop references on different levels to the locally typical drumlin landscape. The sculptural volumetrics of the free-standing building, with a ridge-like roof landscape, recalls geological formations. The gently modulated building silhouette, with its deep flanks, is nestled into the terrain and conceals the staggered height in a confidently relaxed way. At the same time, the form refers to the hall-like interior spaces and the definitive load-bearing system with its vertebral main girder. That creates a column-free hall, allowing ideally adaptable operative processes, also in future. The façade surfaces retain their natural colours and combine with the mossy rooftops to create reserved landscape motifs, without losing the refreshing directness of the industrial, modular building.
