Flexible and sustainable working oasis
Between the main road to the south and fields and meadows to the north, the new KEBA Technology Park presents itself as an elegant, flat volume with a striking longitudinal extension. Building kinks respond to the plot shape and the street and organise the linear form into a varied scenery.
The Technology Park with the production halls at the front and the office buildings in between interlock with the landscape. Production, logistics and administration are spatially interwoven and form a unified whole. Green inner courtyards with a variety of views create an attractive working environment.
In the office building, the workstations are oriented towards the quiet inner courtyard and can be flexibly organised as individual, combined or open-plan spaces. The access cores, including ancillary rooms and technical supply lines, are located in the centre zone.
The technology park is designed as a timber-hybrid building. Underground and ground contact areas are made of reinforced concrete, the rest is timber. The prefabricated façade elements consist of a large-format timber stud wall construction with factory-integrated windows. Vertical louvres clad with polished chrome steel on the front form an attractive contrast to the elegant, delicate larch wood façade.
The two-storey production halls with adjoining logistics areas are stacked on top of each other, with one hall in the basement. This optimises the built-up area and reduces the degree of sealing to a minimum. The wide-span construction grid of the halls enables column-free, flexible production areas.
