About Barry Callebaut Primary Function: Корпоратив баш офисның эчке дизайны

Barry Callebaut — Швейцариянең Цюрих шәһәрендә урнашкан корпоратив баш офисның эчке дизайны. Офис эшлекле үзәк бинасының өч катын биләп тора һәм 3800 квадрат метр мәйданны тәшкил итә. Профессиональ җиһазландырылган кухняле шоколад академиясе планның үзәгендә пыялалы диварлар артында урнашкан, шуңа күрә хезмәткәрләр һәм кунаклар шоколад осталарының эшен күзәтә алалар. Һәр каттагы өч үзәк эчке баскычлар белән тоташтырылган һәм тәнәфесләр вә формаль булмаган очрашулар өчен кофе ноктасы буларак хезмәт итә. Агач, тыгыз, мүк һәм картамалы обой сизелмәле мохит тудыра, ә кислород бүлеп чыгаручы үсемлекләр сәламәт эш мохитен тәэмин итә.

Unique Properties
The office has its own integrated chocolate academy. This is where innovation and inspiration take place behind glazed walls, enabling staff and visitors to watch the chocolatiers creating new products. This professionally equipped kitchen is located in the centre of the office so that it is the first area both employees and visitors see on arrival. The sleek academy kitchen is set against earthy floor finish and organically shaped pendant lights in the reception, that add warmth to the design.
Dimensions & Packaging
Barry Callebaut occupies 3 floors of a new business centre building in downtown Zurich. The project floor area is 3800 square meters or 40900 square foot.

Production Technology
In alignment with the sustainability strategy of Barry Callebaut, using environmentally friendly, certified, upcycled, and natural materials was another primary design consideration. Textures of wood, natural materials, like the safflower wallpaper, cork and moss, create sensory experiences in both the hubs and the workspaces. Specifically selected oxygen generating plants in combination with sensors deliver a healthy and productive work environment.
Design Challenge
Besides planning a workplace that is fit for new work and employee needs post pandemic, the second major challenge was integrating the chocolate academy in a regular office building. The requirements for the room temperatures, ventilation capacity and placing of the equipment were very strict, so the planning team had to make quite a few interventions in the plan to respond to the needs of the client.
Research
The project was planned in the early stages of global pandemic that posed many difficult questions and unknowns. The architects carried out a number of in-depth workshops and surveys with the client and users, in order to find out what would be the main attraction points for employees to return to the office post pandemic. The research resulted in a workplace concept that creates an agile and attractive place to live and work and focuses on stimulating the physical collaboration and team spirit.
Inspiration
The project brief was to create a strong connection to the culture of Barry Callebaut and its confectionary products. To respond to the brief, the architects conceived a tactile design concept that reflects the variety of flavours, aromas and textures of cocoa products. Different types of wood and fabrics, natural materials and a combination of earthy colours reflect the ethos of sustainability, innovation and sensory pleasure of Barry Callebaut.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2020 and was finished in August 2021 in Zurich.
Operation Flow
In order to encourage staff circulation between the three floors that Barry Callebaut occupies in a multi-storey building, the architects planned internal staircases that link three hubs on each floor. Each hub has its own distinctive interior design and colour palette according to the core beliefs of Barry Callebaut. Used primarily as coffee points for breaks, informal meetings and lunch, these hubs enable optimal circulation and create a sense of a journey through the various zones.
