The triangular shapes making up the Jansen Campus gives the building a jagged exterior, which is ultimately bold and imposing. Like a futuristic fortress, it looms up towards the skies with a dark regality. Despite its bold design and strong silhouette, there is an openness about this structure that would not be present in an actual fortress. The large windows, white borders and negative spaces give the Jansen Campus an almost quirky presence.
The Jansen Campus was designed by Davide Macullo Architects. Located by Oberriet, Switzerland, the building is described as "the link between the industrial area and the old town and takes its triangular forms from the traditional pitched roofs of Oberriet," according to the designers. It also offers a creative and engaging environment for employees.
