A true multifunctional building: the FRITZ is the new centrepiece of the Roche Campus in Grenzach-Whylen and a reminiscence of Roche founder Fritz Hoffmann (1868-1920) and his vision and courage to break new ground. 400 employees have the chance to experience an ultra-modern, new working environment and develop their potentials in this five-storey building with its column-free design.

Raft ceilings from durlum integrated into concrete elements and combined with a technical frame, unite acoustics, cooling and lighting. They are designed to be both earthquake-resistant and foldable without tools.

Our wide-beam OMEGA 60 linear LED luminaires add elegant accents to the rooms. They are screwed to the technical frame, hiding supply cables and other components. In a perfect fusion of function and design, our raft ceilings complement the special visual and climatic feel-good atmosphere in the dynamic and flexible working environment.
