The newly completed Accenture city campus, located across two buildings in downtown Zurich, bridges tradition with modernity through respectful spatial transformation, intricate design, and sustainability. The result is an environment that empowers, surprises, and fosters community.
The 9200-square-meter campus is shaped by the rich history of the buildings it occupies. Located in a former department store, the Sihlstrasse office impresses with its inviting design, curved forms, and immersive workspace experience. Art, culture, and heritage define the interior’s identity, setting the Sihlstrasse building apart from the other site.
As early on as the reception area, a striking light installation forms a sculptural centrepiece that imbues the space with creativity and motion. This sense of energy and fluidity is echoed across the entire building that stands out for its vibrancy and warm, human-centred design.
Located in the historic Felsenhof building, the Pelikanstrasse office stands out for its architectural clarity, refined aesthetics, and serene ambiance. Innovation, invention, and industry define the interior’s identity, with angular forms, precise lines, and accent colours creating a distinctive atmosphere. Much like Swiss watchmaking—renowned for its precision—every space within the campus is designed for maximum functionality and practicality, while being aesthetically refined in every detail.
Accenture’s city campus in Zurich is more than a workplace—it’s a space that merges global brand identity with local cultural context, establishing an outstanding inner-city campus that reflects the company’s ethos, prioritises well-being, and fosters collaboration.
