The project aims at providing the EAWAG with a building both functional and emblematic of its activities in the water sector. The concept thus proposes a compact monolith organized around a 5’000m3 central tank, which meets the building’s thermal requirements. The design of the façades, whose homogenous appearance reinforces the monolithic character, helps generating a zero heating energy building.
