The epitome of a house: four walls, gables,
a pitched roof. With its radically simple basic
shape, the new building on the production
site in Brumov-Bylnice strikes a decisive
tone. It is designed to convey a sense of
modesty and responsibility, but at the same
time to point the way towards the future of
construction. It offers glimpses deep into the
building, due to the fact that its walls and
roof are almost entirely glazed.
This means that the inside of the building
can be seen from a distance: a structure
with a supporting framework made of
“glulam” – that is, glued laminated timber –
supported by individual steel struts and a
concrete core. All of the wooden elements
come from the neighbouring production hall;
the birch and larch wood were harvested
exclusively from the surrounding forests.
Gira Studio (flush-mounted)
The Gira Studio design line. Set your
own tone with exciting points of contrast.
Perfect for interiors with character.
The building
complies with the
cradle-to-cradle
philosophy – part
of which is the
ability to seamlessly
dismantle all of
the parts – with
components that
can be easily
separated. That is
why the Gira Studio
design line of
surface-mounted
switches and socket
outlets in black are
such a good fit
No secrets: all installations – including the Gira
Studio surface-mounted design line – are highly
visible (photo: BoysPlayNice)
Technology with a
sense of proportion.
An almost sacred atmosphere: the kitchenette unit on the top floor of the

The ideal working conditions: flexible spaces and perfect illumination

System 55
Standard
installation
here – in this case,
mounted not on the
traditional plaster,
but on natural wood
or concrete. Both
highly visible and
highly attractive.
The result is an
impressive example
of far-sighted
planning and
responsible
construction – and
a brilliant landmark
for self-promotion
to boot.
