Swatch Headquarters

Swatch Headquarters, Where Imagination Takes Flight - A 3D Vision with TensoSky® ETFE Film by Taiyo Europe

Location: Biel, Switzerland
Fabric Type: ETFE Film
Market Sector: Institutional
Project Size: 39,826 sq.ft.
Architect: Shigeru Ban
Engineer: LEICHT Structural Engineering & Specialist Consulting GmbH
Completion Date: May 1, 2019

Taiyo Europe, the sister company of Birdair, was entrusted with a unique project involving the creation of unconventional 3D TensoSky® ETFE Film panels integrated onto wooden frames, along with the installation of air duct pipes on-site. These distinct panels, unlike traditional ETFE cushions, captivate the imagination, allowing each observer to interpret their forms as they see fit. A grand total of 965 individual TensoSky® ETFE Film Window Elements, spanning an impressive 40,000 square feet of TensoSky® ETFE film, were employed for the completion of this remarkable endeavor.
