The #FIFA headquarter, Home of FIFA, was designed by Swiss architect Tilla Theus for the football association’s 200 employees. The building is located on a 44,000 m2 site on Zürichberg, not far from the #Zürich Zoo. After FIFA acquired the plot in 2003, the building was constructed between 2004 and 2007. Interestingly the building has only two upper levels but five underground levels. Light and lighting also play a crucial role everywhere.
A luminous balustrade winds its way up the stairs inside the Home of #FIFA. The #staircase railing serves as a reflecting surface, creating a multi-story sculpture of light. #staircasefriday #architecture #photography
The #FIFA meditation room is made of onyx from Afghanistan. Geometrically, it is a 5m high cut off, inverted pyramid. #architecture
