Business Park Thun 1st Rank

The sector situated in the northern part of the city of Thun will be deeply transformed over the next few years. The actual military area will gradually turn into a business park. For the first stage of this significant urban development, a competition was organized for the construction of multifunctional buildings under the auspices of the RUAG company. The project "Weitsicht", created by Bauart in collaboration with the general contractor Halter Ltd, has been designated winner. The compact volumes fit into the site’s morphology like single elements. The approach integrates multiple sustainability considerations. The tower becomes a new urban landmark within this site undergoing a major transformation. It stands out for its solar façade, which enables excellent energy performance. In addition, it meets the requirements of the Minergie-ECO label. The emblematic building, whose identity is adapted to its vocation, expresses both functionality and generosity.
