West-Log, Altstetten Zurich, logistics building

A face instead of a facade.

The new headquarters of a leading electrical wholesaler combines logistics, offices and shops. The solid base reflects the functional requirements. Above it is a striking façade made of perforated aluminium sheeting – inspired by electrical cable ducts. It combines functionality with a strong visual brand identity for the anchor tenant.

The perforation pattern and rounded typography complete the architectural concept. The name West-Log unites Zurich West and logistics in one concise entity. Clear materials and minimalist signage provide structure, orientation and user-friendliness.
