In order to strengthen and enhance the importance of Bressanone as its head office, Durst decided to construct a new and modern headquarters that would become a symbol of the company and would renew its image. The new building is architecturally and functionally integrated with the historical headquarters and the production area using a concept that was never implemented by the architect Othmar Barth who designed the first facility
New modern Headquarters for Durst. An organic building floating in the void to symbolize progress
monovolume architecture + design designs the new headquarters of Durst, a leading company in the field of digital printing systems. The idea is for an organic building that looks like an elongated and compact two-storey building culminating in a six-storey tower
The original idea of a "floating" building with a side tower was in fact adopted to develop the new building, which looks like a two-storey building of elongated and compact shape that culminates with a six-storey tower and rests on a continuous plateau with a glass facade, just giving the feeling of "floating" in the void. To the north, the organic building detaches from the base, creating a " rear" in which a large auditorium is located, while to the south it "bends" until it touches the ground of the garden, enhanced by the presence of a pool of water that increases the scenic effect
The facade has an organic shape and consists of a laminated wood structure covered with powder-coated aluminum panels, in which windows of various sizes are inserted, obtaining a "Pixelated" effect. The window jambs are integrated with LED lights, which dynamically illuminate the façade. The approximately 250 insulating glass panels enable the complex curved geometry of the facade to be followed
