Unispace’s presence in Switzerland had seen rapid growth and our local team grew just as quickly. Previously, our team of 25 resided in a small yet stylish studio in the city centre, and now at 40 team members, the studio were bursting at the seams and in need of a new home. The new studio would act as a showroom, presenting the best of what Unispace could offer as a global firm creating amazing spaces.
The result is a destination workplace that feels chic and sophisticated, yet warm and welcoming to draw people into the office, blending hospitality into the workplace to create the best balance of form and function.
Unispace opted for recycled materials wherever possible to reduce our carbon footprint. In meeting rooms and touchdown spaces acoustic padding made from recycled shoe soles was incorporated in the wall panels. The panelling was chosen not only for its acoustic properties, but also its natural insulation, dirt-resistance and fire-retardant qualities. Acoustic curtains were also installed to act as subtle dividers to create neighbourhoods and closed spaces, rather than building fixed walls that would use more materials and potentially block out natural sunlight. The ceilings are also exposed to cut down on unnecessary material usage and to add to the visual interest of the space.
