Located in the city of St. Gallen where the famous fair
of OLMA takes place we had to design a new exhibition
center with a congress center on the upper floor
and a restaurant. A separate office building which is
connected to the exhibition center and inhouses offices
had to be attached to the main building. For the
first time we had to plan the whole supporting framework
and the building services like heating, cooling
and cross ventilation.
The warehouses are locadet on the lower levels as is
the parking garage which is connected to the already
existing garage from another hall.
The visual difference between the main exhibition center
(concrete) and the office building (wood paneling)
was chosen to differentiate the two.
