2 ‘Rabbit’ awards for Jakob
Every year in December, the Swiss architecture magazine Hochparterre awards its ‘Rabbit’ for Switzerland’s best architecture of the year. We are proud that Jakob Rope Systems was involved in two of the winning projects: the Plage Publique des Eaux-Vives in Geneva by LLJ Architectes and the Moos-Cham project by Loeliger Strub.
Melbourne Conservatorium of Music
An atrium is central to the Melbourne Conservatorium’s new home. Jakob partner Tensile delivered a safety solution with stainless steel cables that combines beauty with efficency.
Unique footbridge with Webnet
The new suspension bridge near our headquarters in Trubschachen is almost finished. It is highly innovative, using Webnet instead of cables as hangers. This lends the bridge a very elegant look.
We would like to thank all sponsors and partners, the community of Trubschachen, Thuner Bau AG and Kambly SA.
Jakob supports research in new concrete construction methods
Jakob has been honoured to support research into new construction methods for concrete. The Block Research Group at ETH Zurich used Jakob cables to create a flexible formwork for a curved concrete roof. The HiLo roof is situated on top of NEST, the test site of Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Material Sciences.
