Heat Pumps for Viessmann

"Oasis" incorporates a heat pump into a compact architectural structure that integrates various environmentally focused features, including bicycle and electric vehicle storage, water collection, and solar panels. The heat pump's draft is directed to cool the solar panels, enhancing their efficiency. Its scalable design facilitates easy adaptation for individual or shared use of this sustainable hub.

Developed in the Swiss context, "Tavillon" reinterprets a traditional architectural technique in which split wooden tiles are used for façades. Similar to a chimney on a tavillon chalet, the heat pump is clad in wooden shingles and can be positioned atop the building, departing from the convention of existing heat pumps while preserving a vernacular and sustainable building tradition.

"Unified" is a scalable and adaptable system for Viessmann heat pumps, built using anodised extruded aluminium profiles. The design enables the creation of various sizes and configurations of heat pumps with just two extrusion dies—one straight and one with a rounded corner. Inspired by the lenticular lens effect, the profile shape conceals internal components whilst allowing for efficient airflow.

"Terra Cotta" integrates Viessmann technology into the garden landscape without hiding it. The materiality lends familiarity and enables a beautiful ageing process, while protecting the technology from outside factors. The brick format uses standard clay extrusion processes to allow for a format with sufficient airflow required for the pumps functionality.

"Mailbox" integrates heat pump technology into a familiar street typology: the mailbox. In particular, it pays homage to the iconic Swiss letterbox design by Andreas Christen. This iconic Swiss design is typically produced in various formats, often featuring a cavity space beneath the boxes. In this concept, that cavity has been optimised to house a heat pump, seamlessly incorporating it into a commonplace street element.
