This commercial and residential<br />

property in Lucerne, Switzerland,<br />

other than the Säntispark in Abtwil,<br />

is the largest project in Switzerland<br />

which successfully uses Rieder<br />

facade elements.<br />

«Concrete Skin»<br />

A second skin made of glass fibre reinforced concrete<br />

Sustainable building<br />

envelopes are more and<br />

more in demand. Proof<br />

of that is the impressive<br />

refurbishment of a commercial<br />

and residential property in Lucerne<br />

which features glass fibre reinforced<br />

elements (Concrete Skin fibreC). The<br />

new facade consists of prefabricated<br />

storey-high elements which are quick<br />

to install and allow the continuing use<br />

of the building during refurbishment.<br />

The project features 1,800 m 2 of ivory<br />

coloured facade elements which have<br />

been fitted using an invisible preinstalled<br />

aluminium support system.<br />

Creative expansion for <strong>Rhomberg</strong> <strong>Bau</strong> AG<br />

With the acquisition of Rubin<br />

Architekten AG and its eight<br />

members of staff, <strong>Rhomberg</strong> has<br />

increased its capacities in the Bern<br />

area.<br />

Rubin Architekten AG in Bern-Worblaufen<br />

has been successfully working<br />

on the design and construction of<br />

residential, industrial, commercial and<br />

service sector buildings for about 30<br />

years. <strong>Rhomberg</strong> <strong>Bau</strong> AG, which is<br />

a family-owned company, has established<br />

itself in the Bern region with the<br />

development of the high-profile ‘Westside’<br />

leisure and adventure centre.<br />

Today these two companies together<br />

form a strong team. As of the 1 st of<br />

July 2009, <strong>Rhomberg</strong> <strong>Bau</strong> AG acquired<br />

the shareholdings of company<br />

founder Hans Rubin and co-owner<br />

Stefan Schärer. Rubin Architekten<br />

AG is now a fully owned subsidiary of<br />

<strong>Rhomberg</strong> and will continue trading<br />

under its existing name at its current<br />

location. At the same time, <strong>Rhomberg</strong><br />

will relocate its Bern branch to the<br />

address of Rubin in Bern-Worblaufen.<br />

By using the synergies of the two<br />

experienced teams it is hoped to<br />

increase the group’s capacity in the<br />

Bern region. Both current and future<br />

customers will benefit from the combined<br />

expertise of the two companies.<br />
