Logistic Centre

Oiken - Logistic Centre

Project number: 019

Year: 2020

Program: Office / Parking / Storage

Size: 12 750 m2

Location: Daval, Switzerland

Client: Competition

Team: Christopher Lunde in collaboration with Clément Mathieu & Studio VAARO

 
 

The data and logistics company Oiken initiated the competition. Oiken is an energy company that was created due to a merger between two smaller companies. Once merged, the new company Oiken needed a larger headquarter. They decided on a site in Daval, Switzerland, to be the location of the new building. Our proposal divided the programmatic scheme into three parts - Parking, Office, and Storage. Then we placed these programmatic parts side by side. The idea of the scheme was to create a building that was as compact and efficient as possible. Although the functional requirements given by the competition broadly defined the configuration of programmatic elements, the overreaching architectural ambition was to create a logistic center that looked like a large abstract sculpture. We achieved this by reducing the architecture to a structural grid.
