Creating a Dynamic Environment for Collaboration

Innovation thrives on freedom and interaction. The Innovation Campus DSM in Kaiseraugst is designed to provide researchers and employees with a versatile open space that encourages collaboration while showcasing the company’s commitment to sustainability. Our project integrates design aesthetics, natural elements, climatic resilience, and functional use to create a balanced environment that fosters interaction among participants.

Centralizing Open Space and Enhancing Accessibility

The campus layout revolves around the existing tower, serving as the main building, with the canteen located in the east and the new innovation lab in the west. A central open space, oriented towards the south, serves as a welcoming gesture at the headquarters. This reconfiguration centralizes the open space for daily use, reallocates infrastructural areas to the north, and separates vehicular traffic from pedestrian zones. By maximizing vegetation and minimizing sealed surfaces, the campus takes a proactive step towards mitigating climate change while providing outdoor working spaces and serene areas for employees.

Welcoming Visitors with Nature and Identity

Visitors and employees enter the DSM Group’s new campus from the south, greeted by a vibrant “meet and greet” area featuring a sea of flowers, sculptural trees, and bushes. This floral landscape defines the campus’s identity, creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Unlike many corporate campuses, the Innovation Campus DSM is a public space without fences, fostering a sense of openness and accessibility. Surrounding the central area, ecological belts comprising dense woodlands and expansive meadow landscapes offer retreats, walking paths, sports grounds, and vital ecological areas.

A Fresh Start with Enhanced Functionality

The redesign of the campus marks a fresh start, providing visitors with a distinctive image while enhancing functionality through coherent circulation for vehicles and logistics. By seamlessly integrating innovation, sustainability, and natural beauty, Bryum has created a dynamic environment that reflects DSM’s commitment to excellence and collaboration.
