case studies

Data centre offices

Interior fit out of multiple offices, Europe

A new international data centre company has purchased and brought together several existing companies. We’re helped them establishing an interior brand identity and rolling this out for multiple office throughout Europe.

Applied sterilization facility

Using X-ray technology
Solothurn, Switzerland

Further development of the client’s campus with a facility hosting applied sterilisation processes and employee spaces. We performed due diligence and localised the design while following the client’s standards. We collaborated with the client’s architect to develop the concept and spatial coordination designs.

Data centre
Glattfelden

24MW IT load
Glattfelden, Switzerland

This large data centre blends in with the natural green surroundings. It allows for a phased fit out and showcases our dedication to both technological and environmental excellence.

Data centre Oberengstringen

4MW IT load expansion
Oberengstringen, Switzerland

Within the original campus blueprint, we revamped the design of the upcoming phases. Our optimizations maximize data hall space and boosts IT power and cooling, without requiring re-permitting.

Additional data centres on campus

12 + 12MW IT load
Winterthur, Switzerland

Resulting from our continued partnership we have designed two additional buildings for this client on the same campus. We provided multidisciplinary design from spatial coordination to technical design for tender. By retaining the same design team members and actively sharing lessons learnt from the first build, we kept improving the designs.

Data centre
Winterthur

8MW IT load
Winterthur, Switzerland

The first data centre project we designed. Covering all engineering disciplines from concept to technical design. We also supervised the client standards and design quality during the execution phase.

Data centre
Otelfingen

17MW IT load
Otelfingen, Switzerland

Masterplan development to accommodate two nearly identical buildings, each operable by separate entities. We advanced the first building, with nearly 17MW IT, to the building permit design stage.
