Directly beside the picturesque old town of Bern, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the second largest railway station in Switzerland, to which a new underground station is being added because the existing one has reached the limits of its capacity. As part of this project, a new station underpass is being constructed, also with a new main access point by the Bubenbergzentrum.
The architect envisioned an illuminated ceiling that appears endless, yet that also blends inconspicuously into its surroundings. The special ceiling that we developed specifically for this project, with angular perforation in a seemingly random sequence of irregular holes.
The unique design of the projecting roof demonstrates that truly great architecture can arise when vision and execution blend to form a single unit.
