Manufacture Fehr + Cie SA and Technofrap SA La Chaux-de-Fonds

Conceived as a unitary piece integrated in the ground, the building enters into dialogue with its surroundings and reacts to the slope with a precise positioning of the various entrance levels. The centralization of the production in a single location is a strategic choice in the company’s history. The interior organization reflects this strategy: the central space brings together production, reception and administration functions. This double-height volume structures movements within the building and becomes its main referencing space. It brings natural light into the core of the building and serves simultaneously as reception area, show room and meeting place.
