An open site for an open reception: Further office, lab and production buildings were realised for the east section of Roche's facility in Kaiseraugst in the last years. For that reason, a gatehouse, service building and auditorium were built over the new two-storey car park in the middle section of the site.
To the north of the gatehouse, slightly set back, will be the three-storey auditorium.
The materials used for both buildings will be unostentatious. The façades will feature mainly fair-faced concrete and fully glazed mullion-transom elements. The interior flooring is dominated by terrazzo or parquet. The spiral-shaped staircase in the auditorium will catch the eye. The large window fronts to the north and south will also be conspicuous.
Here is a timelapse video «ZR Peak 201» of the construction of Pe@k-Buildings and their surroundings
