Headquarter Partners Group, Baar CH
The new headquarters impresses not only with its architecture, but also with the versatile applications of Topakustik products.
A particular highlight is the large hall, which has been designed with various cubic shapes. All elements are clad with micro perforations, giving them a rusted look that perfectly reflects the character of an industrial hall. The original plan was to manufacture the wall cladding from steel panels in order to achieve maximum similarity with the headquarters in America. Topakustik was on hand as a solution partner right from the start. With comprehensive consulting, sampling, and materialization, it was possible to equip the individual offices and meeting rooms with sound-absorbing MDF with a melamine-coated surface. This not only ensures optimal acoustics but also gives the room a modern and appealing design.
Powerfully curved baffles were installed in the auditorium, elegantly stretching from the walls across the ceiling. Each element was milled with different radii, which presented a particular challenge in both planning and execution.
In other areas of the building, such as the hallway and restaurant, employees and visitors enjoy grid ceilings.
The two historic factory buildings are complemented by the "Green Building", an elongated structure with differently curved layers.
