Viared Center is a vibrant new hub for businesses and employees within the expanding industrial park west of Borås. This welcoming center offers a café, restaurant, gym, a 24-hour self-service store, and a wide range of essential services.
The building rises over three main floors, with a basement and a recessed rooftop level featuring a spacious terrace. Floors 2 through 4 primarily house offices, while the third floor integrates a restaurant, conference facilities, coworking spaces, and smaller rental units. The recessed rooftop floor allows for a versatile terrace space adaptable to various needs.
Constructed with timber – the most carbon-efficient building material – Viared Center embraces the architecture of tomorrow. Sustainability is interwoven in the structure and biophilic design elements that bring nature into the everyday experience. The central atrium, anchored by the main staircase, features a vertical green wall and cascading plant vines across all levels.
The reception area is crowned with a green ceiling and a saltwater aquarium, heightening the sensation of being enveloped in nature. The rooftop terrace extends this philosophy, with the restaurant cultivating its produce. The terrace provides flexible spaces for gatherings large and small, enhanced by a biodiverse ecosystem of biotope roofs, shrubs, and climbing plants. These green elements create a lush environment for the building’s occupants and foster biodiversity.
Viared Center is a testament to sustainable innovation, where timber construction and biophilic design converge to redefine the modern workplace. It offers a harmonious blend of functionality, nature, and community – an architectural statement that supports well-being and ecological resilience.
