Authorisation granted for sustainable office building complex

Winterthur, May 2024

Green Spin has received approval to build a sustainable office complex. In three years, companies focusing on sustainability will move in. The complex offers modular rental spaces and is certified to international sustainability standards.

Green Spin receives authorisation to build a sustainable office building complex. According to a press release, companies specialising in sustainability will move in here in three years’ time. The future units will have modular rental areas of between 35 and 1,400 square metres with a total area of 31,000 square metres. In addition to commercial, office and production premises, catering businesses and individual retail outlets will also move into the future quarter. Green Spin was initiated and developed by Felix Partner Architektur Design from Zurich.

The architecture firm promises functional architecture with a photovoltaic façade and wind turbines for green electricity as well as a heating system that works with geothermal energy. The location is close to the city centre and has good connections to public transport and the city’s cycle network. A ramp up to six metres wide, which rises gently around the inner courtyard and is accessible by bike, is a particular highlight. This provides access to the rental space on all levels so that you can cycle directly to the office or shop.

The building is certified in accordance with the international sustainability standard for buildings, BREEAM, and fulfils the ESG standards for sustainability reporting as well as the standards for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
