Swarovski Manufaktur
Architecture: Snøhetta Studio Innsbruck (2015-2018) Builder-owner: D. Swarovski KG Open to the public: No In 2020, the crystal atelier received a Recognition Award of the State of Tyrol for New Building.
With the Swarovski Manufaktur in Wattens, Snøhetta developed a hybrid location for production, creative collaboration and representation for the Tyrolean crystal manufacturer. A column-free hall with natural light through openings in the ceiling offers space for machines, robots and workbenches, but also for offices and meeting zones. A large open staircase, which also serves as a meeting point and arena, leads up to a wooden platform suspended from the ceiling, into which further offices and showrooms are integrated.
