Espace Tourbillon Logistics and Industrial Hub

Strategisk plassering og utforming

Espace Tourbillon is strategically situated at the crossroads of major transport routes in the Plan-les-Ouates industrial zone. This large-scale project, developed by Brodbeck Roulet Architectes Associés SA, encompasses five buildings arranged around a central esplanade, serving as a significant industrial and public attraction. The site spans 25,000 square meters and includes a comprehensive underground logistics station, enhancing connectivity and flow management.

Effektiv logistikk og interaksjon

The core principle of the project prioritizes both logistics and human interaction. An underground logistics zone was chosen over above-ground unloading bays to ensure smooth circulation of people, vehicles, and goods. This underground design, which includes an 18,000 square meter storage area, is complemented by a wide pedestrian walkway distributing access to the five buildings. Verticality is optimized to minimize transport distances for goods, facilitating efficient deliveries to each floor, and workspaces are designed to be indoor, improving safety and worker well-being despite weather conditions.

Fleksible design og tilgang

Architecturally, the five buildings feature rational designs that maximize space flexibility and reduce structural constraints, with large, open floor plans spanning up to 7.5 meters. Glass facades and patios provide ample natural light and transparency, enhancing the flexibility of workstation organization. The project is highly accessible, connected to major roads, public transport including a tram line, and in close proximity to the airport. The site aims to become a veritable village at the heart of the industrial estate, fostering a functional and user-friendly environment.
