Eiger Palace, a fully flexible workspace in the heart of Lugano
Eiger Palace, a fully flexible workspace in the heart of Lugano, opposite the station. Images, brand identity and web.
Eiger Palace brings together offices, commercial units, and generous outdoor spaces in the heart of Lugano, directly opposite the FFS station. The building was designed for complete versatility, with fully customizable layouts that move from open space to private offices, coworking, and hybrid solutions. Our work was to bring its architectural qualities and material choices into the light, and to show how its different spaces dialogue with one another and with the neighbourhood around them.
Alongside the full image set and the art direction, we built the brand identity and developed the website, so the project speaks with one coherent voice from the facade to the logo to the final page online. Every deliverable was shaped to present Eiger Palace not as an empty shell but as a place ready to be lived and worked in, where design, efficiency, and sustainability meet.

01 Architecture
Our first task was to read the building and reveal what makes it work: the rhythm of the facade, the quality of the materials, and the way light moves across the surfaces through the day. Each image was composed to bring those architectural qualities forward rather than flatten them into a generic render.
First we read the building: the rhythm of the facade, the quality of the materials, the way light moves across the surfaces, never flattened into a generic render.
We gave the same attention to the material choices, from the facade cladding to the interior finishes, so that the texture and the craft stay legible in every frame.

02 Identity
The identity starts from the building. The logo takes the pattern of the facade and turns it into a mark, so the brand carries the architecture in its very form. From there we built a full set of brand guidelines that keep every application precise, across print, signage, and screen.

We also handled the web development, translating the same language into a site that guides companies and professionals from the first impression to the spaces and the contact, with the identity consistent at every step.

03 Spaces
Eiger Palace is not a single use building. Offices, commercial units, outdoor areas, and the neighbourhood around them are designed to work together, and the images tell that story: how a workspace opens to a terrace, how the ground floor meets the street, how the building belongs to its part of Lugano.

Showing that dialogue was central to the project, because it is what turns a stack of floors into a place where different activities share one address.
