Project details

The PULSE project resulted in a multifunctional building complex comprising two striking structures. Spacious courtyards ensure natural light reaches the building interiors, while precisely designed cutouts in the façade visually break up the massing and lend the ensemble a distinctive architectural identity. Over 43,000 m² of modular space offers a wide range of potential uses, giving the project exceptional flexibility.

Approximately 5,200 kg of powder coating from the
IGP-DURA®xal 4201U-L1 series was used to coat the profiles and façade panels. The powder coating was applied by Hevron, while the architectural design was carried out by Architram architecture et urbanisme SA and Atelier Simplon. The highly weather-resistant, deep-matte surface finish highlights the precise design of the building envelope and contributes to the durability and long-term value of the facade elements. Combined with the innovative architecture, the result is a building envelope that meets the highest technical standards and visually reflects the project's forward-looking character.

PULSE – a place where innovation takes shape.
