Cocoon gives office design a whirl

As striking entrances go, this one is definitely up there.

This project is called Cocoon and is a bold stand-alone building in Zurich. The centre piece of the building is an upwardly widening atrium with a ramp that ascends the central space connecting the different areas. The skylight at the top floods the whole area with light making it an bright and airy place to be.


I wouldn't mind working there! The inside really is beautiful, but I can't help thinking it's a shame that the outside of the building doesn't really have the same impact. To me, it just looks like another office block, even if it is circular.
