To address the growing need for accommodation for the aged, people with dementia and other people in need of care, the municipalities of Switzerland's Laufental administrative district have built an old peoples' home in laufen. In response to the competition brief, Ackermann Architekt developed an efficient and carefully considered concept. Following completion of the structural shell, we were appointed by the architect to supervise all works during the fit-out and services installation phase. This necessitated the prompt development of a concept for meeting the tight deadlines while at the same time achieving the high standards of workmanship specified for the project. In meeting the challenge, our team needed to draw on the full range of its leadership skills and experience.
