BIOGENA World Entry hall

Project description

In Salzburg, near the “home mountain” Gaisberg, the manufacturer of micronutrient products built a modern, mulitfunctional production facility. The manufacturer is not only significantly increasing its production capacities, but is also offering an exclusive look behind the scenes. Sustainability was the highest priority in the construction of the new building. Beside the greened roofs a good part of the energy demand is covered by photovoltaic elements which are integrated into the facade. More than 6,500m² of biotope area have been revitalised. All parking areas have been made waterpermeable.
In the entire new building, more than 500m² of partition walls in dry construction and around 900m² of perforated ceilings are designed as climate ceilings. One of the highlights and biggest challenges for the installer was the cinema in circle form made of RIFLEX boards. Not less demanding in terms of execution and design was the upside-down mountain topography as a structural allusion to the Untersberg mountain. The mountain was suspended from the ceiling in the open staircase foyer in a correspondingly elaborate substructure. Depending on the individual location in the staircase and the angle of view of the ceiling, the impression of the “Untersberg” changes.
