A place where tile design and innovation merge

The NOI Tech-Park Bruneck is more than just a meeting place for creative minds; it symbolizes the successful symbiosis of architecture and functionality. Under the motto "Nature of Innovation", a place has been created here that offers technology companies, start-ups and research institutions the ideal environment for networking and collaboration. Completely in line with the NOI strategy and a central element of the interior design is the CRAFT tile series from Agrob Buchtal. How CRAFT makes a decisive contribution to realizing the design idea of the entire building? As part of an inspiring environment that becomes a source of inspiration and progress.

Versatility under one roof

The design by KUP-Architekten combines different uses under one roof and creates tailor-made co-working spaces for the Automotive Excellence of South Tyrol, the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and the Nobis event center. The integrated hydrogen storage system, which stores surplus electricity from the photovoltaic system and enables off-grid island operation, is particularly forward-looking.

Architectural concept

The aim of the design was to create a harmonious connection between the architecture and the surrounding landscape. The organic shapes and materials of the building reflect this throughout the design. The striking building envelope impresses with its contemporary aesthetics and innovative design. A load-bearing reinforced concrete structure is surrounded by a shell of vertical concrete louvres, which are twisted and visualize the interplay of the building's various functions. These slats also provide protection from the sun and weather.

If the material concrete also reflects the philosophy of technology in the interior with exposed concrete walls and columns, an imposing spiral staircase and polished concrete floors - the visually and haptically effective and space-defining CRAFT tile from Agrob Buchtal embodies the power to inspire people through design for the sustainable development of our society, to use ceramic material as a manifestation of creativity and innovation. Because this is where ideas are born, concepts are developed and innovations are celebrated.

Design as a muse for innovation

In the inviting foyer of the NOI Tech-Park, the blue-green flamed tile CRAFT from Agrob Buchtal sets a special accent. Its handcrafted, profiled surface is far more than just an aesthetic detail - it embodies the essence of the entire park. The cool blue-green harmonizes perfectly with the concrete. At the same time, the color evokes images of nature and water, anchoring the technology park in its picturesque surroundings. All in all, CRAFT in the NOI Tech Park supports the desired vision of a harmonious connection between tradition and future, nature and technology. Its appealing surface and high-quality glaze make it a prominent element in the park's design, from the counter design to the meeting and co-working areas of the cafeteria.

A vibrant ecosystem for the future

The NOI Tech-Park Bruneck is not only an architecturally inspiring place, but the materials used make it a living ecosystem that aims to push the boundaries of technology and actively shape the future. With its innovative infrastructure and well thought-out design, it creates the ideal environment to turn visions into reality.
