WOODEN, Siège de Baloise Assurances Luxembourg

Description

Visiting Baloise Insurance's Luxembourg headquarters brings biophilia to life. Natural materials, daylight and landscape views create an immediate sense of well-being — felt both mentally and physically. Occupants never miss a chance to say so.
Innovation pushed craftsmanship beyond the usual: perimeter truss beams arrive prefabricated, one storey tall and 13.20 m long. Acting as a timber exoskeleton, they are fully fitted in the workshop with all façade components. A horizontal metal edge beam elegantly reduces the spandrel to the thickness of the interior floor slab — a refined structural touch.
