Corporate architecture and interior design for Pilatus Aircraft Ltd

Beyond Design was commissioned to develop a comprehensive corporate architecture and interior design manual in collaboration with Pilatus Flugzeugwerke AG. The aim of the project was to strengthen the corporate identity of Pilatus through the design of interior and exterior spaces and to make central values such as precision, innovation and quality tangible.

The building itself is divided into three structures, creating a clear and structured design. The central area emphasizes the main entrance and gives the building an inviting and at the same time representative effect. The architectural design language conveys dynamism without sacrificing clarity and precision, thus reflecting Pilatus' core values.

The manual also includes the design of numerous interior areas, including the hangar, reception, customer zone, work areas, meeting rooms, meeting zones and a specification zone. The hangar was designed as a neutral, white space to showcase the aircraft in the best possible light, while the reception welcomes visitors with an impressive presentation. Swissness can be felt here and in the customer zone through the use of wood, stone and metal as well as a subtle, natural color concept with light natural tones and black accents. This concept also runs through the work and meeting areas, which have been designed to be bright, open and functional.

The specification zone offers customers the opportunity to precisely define their products in a neutrally designed space with state-of-the-art technology, such as a video wall. The project is complemented by a shop-in-shop concept that has been specially developed for integration into existing external areas. This solution represents the values and identity of Pilatus in a compact and brand-appropriate way and allows Pilatus to be experienced outside its own premises.

This project illustrates how corporate architecture and interior design can make a targeted contribution to communicating a company's identity internally and externally through a coherent and innovative interior design.
