Description
Since 2019, Scott Sports' unbroken innovative spirit has been evident at the company's headquarters in Givisiez, Switzerland. The new building impresses with its sunlight-sensitive façade: While the ground floor manages without any further façade cladding, triangular elements from the first floor cite the material with which Scott’s origin all began. Made from micro-perforated aluminum sheets, they are oriented towards the sun's rays and thus bring dynamism to the outer skin: sometimes the façade looks like a shielding, protective shell, then again sharp-edged, moving and permeable.
The glazing of the high-tech façade on the ground floor provides a view of the interior up to a height of three meters. This is where SageGlass by Saint-Gobain is installed. Also, the ceiling has been constructed with deep glulam beams and tintable glass elements from SageGlass. This allows for varying plays of light in the elongated, spacious room. According to the architects, the electrochromic glass mediates between inside and outside. SageGlass can be tinted depending on the amount of sunlight. This means that additional shading elements can be dispensed with without having to compromise on interior comfort. While the entry of glare and heat or cold from the glasses are reduced, the view to the outside remains unobstructed and the incidence of daylight remains as high as possible. Thus, creating a unique and comfortable environment for visitors and employees alike.
