Utility, Durability, Beauty

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


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

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

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