Herzog & de Meuron (HdM) has designed a new research facility for Roche, a large Swiss pharmaceutical company based in Basel. The four new structures, collectively known as pRED, consist of two low-rise buildings and two high-rises. The facility, interconnected via a system of skybridges, consolidates Roche’s laboratories into a single location.
HdM’s latest addition was designed to mesh with the campus’s pre-existing architecture, which consists of a series of unadorned white buildings, a style originated by Otto R. Salvisberg, a Swiss architect who prepared the campus’s original masterplan in the 1930s.
