Lindt Home of Chocolate, Kilchberg

Christ & Gantenbein 


Apart from harboring new services for the renowned chocolate company, the project seeks to generate an immersive and dynamic spatial experience.

The new flagship building is a rectangular brick volume that reformulates the appearance of the chocolatier’s manufacturing complex, and retracts at one corner to create a plaza and welcome visitors.

Various dissemination and research programs are organized around a central void of undulating forms where the large scale and marmoreal nakedness confer a classical civic character on a commercial space.
