South of Rothrist railway statio, a taller building is to be constructed, setting a new urban accent on the central development area, strengthening the address of the station square as a landmark, combining living and working, and enlivening the public space with public-oriented uses.
The «Bornblick» project by the team led by WALDRAP Architects has won the study contract. The design includes a 30-metre-high building with a striking presence and a simple, robust structure that ensures maximum flexibility. The building, divided into a tower and a base, is adaptable and can be modified to accommodate change and future needs. In addition, the moderate height of the building enables a resource-saving construction method. Slimmer structures, lower material usage and reduced technical requirements reduce grey energy consumption.
