Office building Stoll und Frey Ingenieure

Basic concept:

• offices arranged ring-shaped around a centre

          => good lighting from outside, short distances

• conference rooms as the focal points of the individual units and in the centre of the building

• layout concept to achieve ideal conditions for communication between the workgroups on and between the stories; communication is of crucial importance

• openness between the offices and, along the vertical axis, between the storeys is intended to enable intelligent and active cooperation

• rooms requiring less light face the insidelarge facade apertures permit a strong bond with the surrounding landscape

• inward and outward transparency is intended to provide users with a sense of expansiveness and openness and to create a welcoming atmosphere for visitors

• use of a uniform grid that extends from the supporting construction to the fitout and the facade allocation – economical construction.

Façade design:

• window surfaces designed to flood the building in light

• flexible floor plan, autonomous supporting system,  wall system without supporting function, situated on floor screed and repositionable

• atrium with lighting from above connects the floors

• use of very few different materials – concrete, glass, wood – to produce clarity!

• shingle facade blends modern construction styles with the tradition of residential buildings

• facade is separate from the supporting construction

Interior layout:

• reduced fitout due to absence of wall plaster, ceiling plaster and unnecessary coating

• natural steel for banisters

• hence lowest possible pollutant emission from building components and coatings

• oiled natural wood surfaces on tables and windows (pollutant-free)

Energy consumption and ecological aspects:

• passive house quality of the building structure with heating and cooling energy consumption at below 15 kWh/m² per year

• a standard building has 250-500 kWh/m² per year

• maximum independence from the energy market

• greatest possible comfort for all users (room climate)

• building structure, including glazing, provides highly effective insulation with airtight structure and absence of thermal bridges in the construction

• glass surfaces heat production

Building services – renewable energy:

• natural spring water to heat and to cool

• large glass surfaces to exploit solar heat

• ventilation system with heat/cooling recovery of approximately 95%.

• outside blinds to regulate and minimise the consumption of heating and cooling energy
  
  

Our most important criteria:

• workplace

• communication

• room climate

• well-being
