Vitra Haus

            Herzog & de Meuron 2010

Weil am Rhein, Germany

With the construction of the VitraHaus in 2010, a space was created on the production premises which allows the wide range of Vitra products to be experienced under a single roof. The VitraHaus is Vitra’s flagship store: Here, visitors are offered inspirational ideas for their own homes and invited to explore their own taste in design. In addition to the product arrangements and consulting rooms on the upper levels, the ground floor of VitraHaus comprises the Vitra Design Museum Shop, the VitraHaus Café and a reception area where guests are welcomed to the Vitra Campus. The building was designed by Herzog & de Meuron, one of today’s most renowned architectural firms. The basic structure of VitraHaus consists of twelve elongated gabled houses, which are stacked at intersecting angles to form a five-storey structure. The gabled roofs yield an array of familiar spatial situations in the interior – the architects prefer to use the expression “domestic scale”. At the same time, the gabled forms cite the local architecture of surrounding communities and seem to pictorially frame the various residential worlds. In touring the various spaces, the building offers an ever-changing variety of moods and views – from the interior of the space as well as into the surrounding landscape, with the idyllic vineyards in the east and the industrial zones of Basel to the west. With its multi-layered concept, the VitraHaus is like an architectural expression of the pluralistic corporate culture that defines Vitra in all it does.
