Annex to house research, practices and human genetics laboratories

Project Présentation

The building comprises an extension for the company to accommodate human genetic research, sequencing diagnostics and patient treatment facilities. A new L-shaped structure has been created to complement the existing L-shaped building complex. Together, they form a clear, robust, urban building module set around a new courtyard. The three-storey extension ensures medical practices, treatment rooms, laboratories and offices are seamlessly interconnected across all levels.

The project achieves a balance between an inviting, patient-friendly ambience and the cutting-edge technology which defines the company. Consequently, the rooms feature a bright, open design while ensuring discretion. The warm choice of materials, colour scheme and tactile elements foster a sense of approachability for patients and employees.

The segmentation of the façade serves as a symbolic architectural translation of the company’s field of activity – sequencing. Similar to a double helix, the individual module façade elements enclose the basic structure consisting of a flexible, core-activated, reinforced concrete frame construction. Mirroring the theme of sequencing in the architectural design, these wooden module elements create a memorable rhythm and herald the start of construction for the new Cybervalley research park in the city of Tübingen.

Architecture is not objective, but influenced by processes, requirements, budgets and cultural-spatial conditions. Our early cooperation with the client – as early as the task development stage – creates a qualitative coherence between the construction project, urban integration, space, form and material. This not only creates an unmistakable building culture, but also a high level of recognition.

Our focus is on the workplace: the place where we spend most of our lives awake. Although we live in a world that is becoming more and more mobile from day to day, administration and production, research and teaching, education and training, and work, are linked to physical places. This topos requires both material and emotional criteria, to which we respond creatively, innovatively and with outstanding design quality.
