A calm, punctiform volume counteracts the dynamic traffic flows and anonymous activities of the industrial estate, confidently rising above it. The new building thereby develops into the identity-forming address of Stahlton Bauteile AG and an impressive landmark at the entrance to the village of Frick. The alternating layering of building wings surrounds the courtyard-like interior and exterior spaces, encouraging communication and communal spirit in the company’s noise-protected rooms. The central themes of the client, which produces building elements, are picked up on and interpreted with respect to the structures, expression and materials. Phenomena such as supporting, spanning, joining and stacking are condensed in a spatial, atmospheric way to create an impressive whole that is conceived additively. A folded, relief-like envelope, which the company itself made out of glass-fibre reinforced concrete, adds a sculptural quality and depth through the lively interplay of light and shadow.
