SIGG
The SIGG Building stands as a modern industrial landmark, designed by the Zurich-based rd2b Limited architects. It perfectly embodies SIGG’s corporate identity and product philosophy, with its slightly outward-tilted aluminum façades reflecting the transformation of raw materials into iconic SIGG bottles.
A vivid red landscape pays tribute to bauxite—the source of aluminum—while a fully glazed office space, seamlessly integrated like an “eye” within the warehouse, underscores SIGG’s open corporate culture. Completed in 2004 on time and within budget, this new office and warehouse complex marks a key milestone in SIGG’s history, showcasing the company’s pioneering spirit and commitment to innovation.
By uniting corporate identity with product philosophy, this architectural project illustrates how design can echo a brand’s essence. The result is a dynamic, functional workspace that reaffirms SIGG’s dedication to quality in crafting its renowned drinking bottles.
design development
At rd2b, we shape architecture as a dialogue between material, space, and light—an interplay of volumes that expands vertically and challenges conventional boundaries. By layering these elements, we craft environments that reveal unexpected perspectives and create a dynamic relationship with their surroundings. This methodology allows us to unlock innovative designs that stand out with refined elegance, while remaining deeply connected to both people and place.
Inspirations
Today, groundbreaking advances in artificial intelligence are reshaping what’s possible in design. At rd2b, we harness these cutting-edge technologies to push the boundaries of innovation, seamlessly blending human creativity with AI-driven insights. The result is a new era of architectural solutions—intelligent, adaptive, and truly transformative.
