Utility, Durability, Beauty

Architecture: Foster + Partners
Project: InnHub La Punt
Location: La Punt Chamues-ch, Switzerland


How should an innovative hub for relaxation and startups in the Swiss Alps look like? Norman Foster’s equally innovative architectural office knows the answer.

To smartly integrate the complex’s space into the picturesque environment, architects focused on local materials, such as leaf shingles, which form the building’s wavy roof. By the way, this element not only mimics the contour of the mountain landscape but also serves an important function as light wells, thus filling the complex’s space with natural lighting.

Utility, durability, beauty — all according to the canons :)
