Achieving high energy efficiency through
concrete core activation

The “Kokon” (Cocoon) complex of office buildings located in the Principality of Liechtenstein uses state-of-the-art core-activated concrete floors and the precast system supplied by Peikko Austria.

In Ruggell, Liechtenstein, a complex of office buildings is currently being built that is unique in terms of both its use and architecture and its ground-breaking engineering solutions.

The development is referred to as “Kokon” (Cocoon) and is divided into two building sections, one of which was completed already and comprises two five-story buildings interlinked by a lower connecting wing. Construction of the second part of the project on the opposing side of the street is scheduled to commence in 2014, using similar structures. This portion should be ready for use in 2015.
