Studio Banana has designed the new offices of FTI (Fondation des Terrains Industriels) located in Geneva, Switzerland.

The renovation project of the FTI foundation’s headquarters in the heart of Geneva’s industrial urban fabric was undertaken following two primary objectives:

On one hand, the need to activate a collaborative culture amongst the different departments, based on a transversal project dynamic, and on the other hand the need to propose a renewed and coherent client experience in line with the foundation’s values. The users were involved in a participatory co-design process from the start, helping to shape a common vision and to create an optimal user experience.

As the foundation is in charge of managing all industrial land in the state of Geneva, the involved departments are very diverse, from the urbanism and development team to the legal, including IT, finances or commercial, always working horizontally in each project.
