Project details

The administrative center is situated in an architecturally diverse area, surrounded by residential neighborhoods, a football stadium, the Allmend, and the Expo grounds. The architects opted for IGP-HWFclassic 5903E81576F3F as the coating for the window elements. This super durable powder coating was used to coat the façade elements and perfectly matches the color of the building. The elements were coated by Fahrni Fassadensysteme AG in Lyss.

The architectural images were provided by photographer Rolf Siegenthaler.
