Dymak HQ

SQUARE BLOCK — The headquarters' programs are connected in a continuous flow to create a coherent and transparent workspace.

PROTECTED COURTYARD — A central courtyard at the heart of the building is protected from the noise of the highway.

DYNAMICS — The dynamic location of the headquarters is referenced in the round shape of the building, with no sharp corners in order to create a seamless flow inside the building.

FORMGIVING — The cascading roof tilts down towards the south to provide the ideal angle for efficient utilization of solar energy.

CONSTRUCTIVE CROSS-LAMINATED TIMBER FRAMES — The primary construction principle features 44 radial load-bearing cross laminated timber frames that form the shape of the building and roof surface, as well as support all floors.

RADIAL DIVISIONS AND PV ROOF — The radial divisions also appear on the facade in the form of deep window frames with screens of stretched metal in between, acting as passive solar shading. The roof is covered in 880 solar panels.

GLASS FACADE — In order for the building to perform optimally in relation to daylight and views, the glass facade opens towards the north and the manorial landscape. Towards the south and the highway, the facade gradually closes to avoid overheating.
