Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet in Le Brassus, Switzerland by ATELIER BRÜCKNER

The Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet is located on the outskirts of the small village of Le Brassus, secluded in a high mountain valley of the Swiss Jura. The spiral-shaped building is embedded in the surrounding landscape and features curved walls made of load-bearing structural glass. Optically flowing transitions characterise the exhibition. Depending on the time of day and the season, the overall impression changes. Reflections and shadows combine to create a spectacle in which the course of time is inscribed.

MUSEUM FOR SWISS WATCH MAKER AUDEMARS PIGUET in Le Brassus, Switzerland by BIG Architects

Sunday, June 15th, 2014

Article source: BIG Architects

Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet chooses BIG to expand its historic headquarters. The 2.400m2/25,800 ft pavilion will be a striking landmark to precision seamlessly integrated into the local landscape.

Team BIG, HG Merz, Luchinger & Meyer and Muller Illien´s design is rooted in the origins of the family owned company, a history of watchmaking that goes back centuries and is nested in the nature and culture of the Vallée de Joux. Surrounded by the historical workshops in Le Brassus in the heart of La Vallée de Joux, the new museum called Maison des Fondateurs, will be imbedded in the landscape – reuniting the buildings with the undulating fields of the valley.
