Foster + Partners stated that the building cores and the technical plant are incorporated into the cantilevering roof form.

Additionally, the atrium roof’s geometry is a glazed gridshell dome and allows for lightweight, thin structural members.

Foster + Partners partner David Kong said: “We worked with Ferring to develop an in-depth understanding of the way they work.

“Through observations and targeted interviews, we gained valuable insight into the processes involved in the development of their drugs.

“In turn, we have designed a building that responds to the company’s specific needs and brings the range of Ferring’s activities under one roof.”

Last month, the company completed the new headquarters for DJI, a manufacturer of civilian drones in China.
