The Information and Training Center serves as the gateway and flagship of the industrial company at its Trimbach site near Olten. Inside a glass shell, the training rooms are stacked in a twisted pattern, forming terraces that open onto the interior space.

While the clean, cubic design of the exterior reflects its industrial context, the interior’s sculptural form expresses the unique nature of its use. In addition to its spatial innovation, the building also incorporates state-of-the-art structural and HVAC systems.

Walser House, CH-Kirchdorf

The existing rural single-family home is to be expanded with an addition and converted into a multigenerational home. The defining element of the design is the roof, which is conceived as a folded surface and continues into the addition. This creates analogies to the village structure, with its deeply pitched roofs of farmhouses, barns, and threshing floors. To harmonize with the rural surroundings and the existing structure, the addition is designed as a timber-frame building.
