\"Herzog<\/div>\n

Architecture studio Herzog & de Meuron<\/a> has completed Mailand-Strasse, a headquarters for its own teams in Basel<\/a> built using a palette of exposed timber, concrete and metal informed by “logistics and infrastructure”.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 7,259-square-metre building gives Herzog & de Meuron<\/a> a permanent base in Basel’s Dreispitz quarter, a formerly industrial area that has been subject to development over the past two decades as part of the studio’s masterplan, Vision Dreispitz.<\/p>\n

While the studio’s longstanding Rheinschanze Campus continues to operate, Mailand-Strasse provides space for over 300 staff.<\/p>\n

According to Herzog & de Meuron, the building was designed to be a low-carbon “vertical campus” that would foster connection between teams via a series of double-height atria, open staircases and terraces.<\/p>\n

“We were interested in creating a house for us that feels spatially connected across different levels and encourages movement, encounters and interaction between teams,” Santiago Espitia Berndt, partner at the studio, told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“Communications, business departments, legal, HR, workshops and architectural teams all coexist across different floors \u2013 more like a city that is not strictly subdivided by functions,” he added.<\/p>\n

Mailand-Strasse fills the entire footprint of its triangular site, creating a stack of angular balconies to the north where each floor plate narrows to a prow-like point.<\/p>\n

A central staircase connects all seven levels of the building, which includes a cafeteria and materials library and culminates in a boardroom wrapped by a rooftop terrace.<\/p>\n
