Where tradition meets modernity — from urban areas to the Emmental

Raiffeisen Worblen-Emmental, Ostermundigen Office

back to objects overview

We were pleasantly surprised to win back the mandate for a project we thought was lost in the spring of 2022. We are delighted that our design team has been awarded the contract for the redesign of the branch offices of Raiffeisenbank Worblen-Emmental.

Our Mission
At four sites, we are increasing the visibility of Raiffeisen Worblen-Emmental and creating a new customer experience. The first project in Ostermundigen has been successfully completed, and the Boll, Biglen and Worb sites will now follow.

Our Inspiration
We found our inspiration on our way through the Worblen and Emmental valleys in the recurring diamond-shaped decorations and ornaments of the architecturally outstanding farmhouses steeped in history. They are among the defining features of traditional regional architecture and served us as source for the design language. Depending on the environment, we used different diamond shapes and combinations: from the urban original shape for the suburb of Ostermundigen to the characteristic ornamentation in the countryside. This allows to create an overall image that reflects the values of Raiffeisenbank Worblen-Emmental and highlights and strengthens its identity.

Spacial presence
Attentive observers encounter the diamonds in various shapes and combinations in the façade structure, the lighting design and the areas with higher discretion requirements. Another highlight and recurring element in all four branches is the bench in the customer zone: it is weatherproof and can therefore also be used outdoors. The implementation of «augmented reality» accompanies the transformation of the physical into the digital world: interactive puzzle games, digital worlds of discovery for children or the geographical 3D representation of the region round off the customer experience.

We thank Raiffeisenbank Worblen-Emmental for their trust and the pleasant and constructive cooperation. We wish the Ostermundigen team every success and good conversations in their new premises.
