Description

A reflecting volume is located in the park beside the listed «Kursaal». The vertical chrome-plated steel skin reflects the environment whereby the environment is not mirrored but distorted. The funnel-shaped entrance leads into the reception area on the ground floor. By open stairs one reaches the foyer in the upper floor with a view to the Jungfrau Mountain. From there two solid oak doors lead into the hall that terraces down to the Aare. The two areas, foyer and congress hall, are dominated by a folded roof.
