Vhernier Campus
The project for the new Vhernier Campus represents a contemporary vision of industrial architecture, in which production, logistics, and collective functions are unified into a coherent system that reflects the brand’s identity.
The proposal stems from an in-depth analysis of Vhernier’s core values: purity of form, material innovation, continuity, and a focus on the relationship between object and body. These themes are translated into space through a language defined by continuous lines, fluid surfaces, and a strong dialogue with light.
The campus is organized around a rational, optimized volume designed to ensure efficiency and maximum production flexibility. Around this functional core, the identity-defining elements unfold.
The Ribbon, a second architectural skin that envelops the pavilions and unifies them into a single architectural movement. Following the geometry of the volumes beneath, it folds and opens at the atrium, becoming the element recognizable from the street. Just as Vhernier’s jewelry is crafted with continuous surfaces and invisible joints, the façade eliminates breaks, tracing a fluid gesture.
The Green Courtyard, the natural heart of the campus, a quiet space that brings light and vegetation into the work environment.
The Roof Garden, a place for well-being and gathering, designed for breaks, events, and informal outdoor moments.
The proposal envisions a flexible and sustainable construction system, based on prefabricated elements and on the possibility of reusing parts of the envelope during future expansion phases, thus reducing environmental impact and ensuring material continuity. The result is a campus where production, design, and nature coexist in harmony.
