The project, which will accommodate some 1900 attractively designed workplaces, is the alternative to the “Twist 2 Spirals” scheme that the company decided not to continue a year ago.

previous version

It meets all Roche’s requirements in terms of functionality and engineering.
The new building continues the predominantly white colour scheme that is typical of the Roche site and which has also been adopted for the research and development building currently being built on Basel’s Wettsteinallee. Both new buildings have been designed by Herzog and de Meuron and tie in with the architectural idiom defined by Otto Salvisberg. The new office building thus continues the longstanding tradition of high-quality industrial architecture that characterises site development at Roche.
