The new “Tour de Suisse Rad AG” building is being built in Kreuzlingen, right on the popular bike path around Lake Constance. The building combines production, office, warehouse, exhibition space and a café under one roof. A striking entrance facade in exposed concrete shows up in front of the square, where customers can take a short break and water, or pump up their bikes again. From there the building develops on two floors over 100m along the Seetalstrasse and the track. Large facade units divide the facade into a rhythmic sequence. Large-format openings in the open café and exhibition area provide insight and enable good lighting of the workplaces. The storage area is illuminated by translucent vertical stripes and shows that the claim here goes beyond a purely functional architecture.
