Roche pRED Center

The Roche pRED Center by Herzog & de Meuron forms a new research and development campus within Roche’s Basel site. Conceived for pharmaceutical research, early development, offices, exchange, and collaboration, the project brings several buildings together around a shared landscape at ground level.

Organized as a group of independent volumes of varying heights, the complex responds both to the scale of Roche’s growing campus and to the surrounding urban neighbourhood. Taller laboratory buildings concentrate density toward the centre of the site, while lower volumes mediate the transition to the city.
