«For the new Schindler Visitor Center, we have designed the exclusive ‘Sky Lounge.’ Here, the guest encounters a unique overall experience. Schindler’s future vision of creating and building smart mobility solutions in urban mega-cities becomes visible and tangible here.

However, the project also embodies the company’s core values: quality, precision, and innovation. Selected materials such as hot-rolled steel, natural stone, glass, and wood create a distinctive atmosphere in the space and meet the high standards of quality, durability, and Swiss tradition. The interplay of different elements and expressions runs like a common thread throughout the entire concept, evident on various scales, both small and large. The ‘Sky Lounge’ captivates not only through the dialogue of materials as a spatial composition but also through its flexible usability.»

About Mia Kepenek

In 2012, Mia Kepenek founded her own studio for Corporate Architecture, Interior Design, and Design in Zurich. Her diverse background also plays a crucial role in her work: after training as a carpenter, she initially studied architecture, interior design, and then scenography.

Philosophy

«Complex tasks require individual and contemporary solutions. Our spatial stagings are deliberately timeless and characterized by an individual, often unconventional approach that can vary greatly depending on the multifaceted requirements of a project. In our projects, it’s always about highlighting an individual identity. Atmosphere cannot be measured, but together, we can shape it.»
