Data center with shiny coat at the Birs river. The highly reflective material absorbs the surrounding colors and surprises with optical phenomena.
Customers of the data center can rent space for their own servers with ideal and safe conditions. The data center has three full floors, a basement was omitted in view of possible maximum water levels of the Birs. The building was realized in a solid steel/concrete structure with exterior walls made of sandwich elements and a rear-ventilated metal facade made of chrome-nickel steel.
