Text description provided by architect.
Swissquote Group is Switzerland's leading provider of online financial and trading services.
Listed on the Swiss Market Exchange since 2000, the Swissquote Group has its headquarters in Gland (VD) and offices in Zürich, Bern, Dubai, Malta, London and Hong Kong.
A first building has been built by Swissquote in 2007. Very soon it appeared not to offer enough space considering the fast growth of the bank.
The new building is an extension of the first one. It offers about 4700 sqm office space. In the center, a large patio brings natural light into the building. The patio is also the central link between the new and the existing part.
On each level, footbridges offer the possibility to walk from one part to the other, from there one can overview the main entrance and the lobby of the bank headquarters.
