Actions following a vision: Guided by the principle of developing sustainable solutions, technology corporation Bühler AG has created an impressive innovation campus. The heart of this campus in the Swiss canton of Uzwil is a glass-walled cube, used as a research center. Ceiling lighting solutions from durlum were used in this quadratic structure.
There is also evidence inside the building of the open, future-facing and innovative thinking of this company, a global player: the LOOP design ceiling in the corridors and foyer area creates a threedimensional effect that blends seamlessly into the futuristic design, while two open-cell ceilings in the leisure areas define aesthetic accents.
The QUADRA single-web open-cell ceiling and the multidirectional TICELL-N open-cell ceiling deliver conviction with their spacious, transparent character.
Direct lighting is assured in the cells of the LED downlights incorporated in the cells of the TICELL-N ceiling. PUNTEO-N downlights of the same kind were installed behind the ceiling system to provide background lighting. Designed in RGBW, these luminaires can create lighting colours to suit individual events, and make a big contribution to the atmosphere.
A true geometric highlight in this structure is the backroom: trapezoidal rectangular metal panels, designed as a chilled ceiling, extend from the ceiling and down the wall to create an apparently seamless transition with the floor. The sharply angled arrangement creates an exciting and almost mystical look within this space.
With this Innovation Campus, a futuristic vision has become reality – a perfect symbiosis of function and design.
