The special feature of this project was, that the complex functional interconnections of the company's headquarters had to be brought into harmony with the historical architectural context and the small units of the old town. Our aim was to show that a production location can also lead to an urban design enhancement in a dense, protected town centre. The volume of the new building is characterised by the style of the surrounding area, with its shed and gable roofs, and cast in its own unmistakable new form. By taking up the volume of the existing roof forms in the surrounding area and varying their dimensions, a scale is created which is appropriate to each situation. The buildings uniform outer facade of reddish anodised metal documents its organisational unity and enters into a stimulating dialogue with the existing buildings.
