Kilchberg, Zürich

The HQ of Lindt & Sprüngli features a factory, warehouses, an office building, and the Lindt Home of Chocolate. This highly technical and complex hybrid combines industrial production, museum, shopping, and cutting-edge research in a space where contemplation, entertainment, and interaction come together in a new spatial experience. Its user-focused, mixed-use program results in a new type of civic architecture built to seduce visitors with the many charms of chocolate: an exhibition, an R&D facility, a production-plant, a shop, a cafe, and offices are all connected by spiraling staircases and cascading walkways crisscrossing a vast atrium. #awesomepic #couplestrip #nyedestinations #themepark#nationalpark#lakes
