Polizeigebäude Winterthur

There is hardly any other country in the world that is …

… as closely connected with design and Le Corbusier as Switzerland. So when it came to building the new police station in Winterthur, it does not come as much of a surprise that the polychromatic color pallet of the famous architect was chosen – along with a classic in textile floor coverings: PERLON RIPS from ANKER.

The police in Winterthur are always ready for action. And to cope with the increasing demands of efficient, modern police work to serve the local residents, they were recently given a new main station.

The design by Oliv Brunner Volk Architekten comprised a two-part building for the new police station with its 250 staff in the Administration and Legal, Staff Services and Command departments: a six-story main building with a three-story annex. They accommodate the central reception alongside a public counter area with an atrium, a cafeteria, the control room, office units and meeting rooms, an underground garage for service vehicles and kennels.
