Sustainable construction at the highest level
The 60-metre-high wood and concrete hybrid building at the Suurstoffi estate in Rotkreuz is largely used by the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. It is two interconnected buildings in which the university has access to some 16,000 sq m of floor space.
The entire Suurstoffi estate is CO2-neutral. The high-rise building's glass-aluminium façade is designed as a cavity-style façade (enclosed hollow space) to ensure optimum insulation and thus maximum energy saving.
The façade aesthetics are accentuated by the anodisation. Its vertical elements subtly melt into the background in the dark anodised shade of Sandalor C63-4, while the vertical pilaster strips are deliberately emphasised in the pale gold 'Argentan'.
