Headquarters SBB

HILDEBRAND SBB Adressierung Gruenraeume K

The eco-friendly design for the new SBB building in Wankdorf maximises green space, integrates the existing underground car park, and adds an efficient, welcoming structure. Its modern yet warm architecture harmoniously connects interior and exterior spaces, reflecting SBB’s ambitious working culture. The result is a future-oriented place that conserves resources while enhancing the value of the neighbourhood.

From an urban design perspective, the park and open spaces are preserved, and public access is ensured. The compact building volume minimises land use, while the park remains a central element – accessible to all and serving as a sustainable place for recreation and social interaction. This approach combines responsible urban planning with the needs of its users.

The architecture embodies a forward-looking attitude, uniting design precision, sustainable principles, and economic efficiency. Openness, flexibility, and a people-centred atmosphere characterise the proposal, which is based on SBB’s Responsive Workplace concept and reflects the curated work environment of the company.
