Where People Work Best
The office environment directly affects performance, absenteeism, and retention. LINK's Minergie certification guarantees measurable indoor environment quality—air, light, acoustics—that your HR team can point to when staff ask 'why this building?'
The Air Your Staff Breathe
Poor air quality is invisible but measurable in its effects: headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, higher sick leave. Most older Geneva offices recirculate 60-80% of air. LINK takes a fundamentally different approach.
Minergie certification requires continuous fresh air supply—not just when someone remembers to open a window. LINK provides 30 m³ of fresh air per person per hour, filtered to ISO 7 standard, with CO₂ levels continuously monitored.
Continuous Fresh Air Supply
The HVAC system delivers fresh outside air continuously, not just when triggered. Meets or exceeds international standards for office environments.
ISO 7 Filtration
Multi-stage filtration removes particulates, allergens, and pollutants before air reaches occupied spaces. Particularly relevant for staff with sensitivities or respiratory conditions.
CO₂ Monitoring
Elevated CO₂ correlates with drowsiness and reduced cognitive performance. LINK monitors levels in real-time and adjusts ventilation automatically.
38% Fewer Complaints
One tenant relocated from a 1990s building in central Geneva. After 12 months at LINK, staff complaints about air quality, stuffiness, and headaches dropped by 38%.
Daylight Access for 85% of Workspaces
Natural light affects circadian rhythms, mood, and alertness. LINK's boomerang floor plate was designed to maximize daylight penetration—most workstations are within 8 meters of a window.
Floor-to-Ceiling Glazing
The double-skin façade provides maximum glass area while maintaining thermal performance. Views to the Alps and Jura mountains from upper floors.
Automated Blinds
External blinds respond to sun position, preventing glare while preserving daylight. Individual override available for tenant preference.
LED Lighting
Efficient LED lighting throughout. Comfortable illumination without energy waste.
Terrace Access
Every floor has outdoor terrace access—green spaces where staff can take calls, lunch, or simply step away from screens.
Designed for Focus
Open offices can be productivity killers when acoustic design is neglected. LINK was built with sound management integrated into the architecture—not retrofitted.
The double-skin façade provides exceptional insulation from external noise. Internal acoustic treatments, raised access floors, and ceiling systems work together to manage sound transmission between zones.
Acoustic Features
- →Double-skin façade—buffer zone reduces external noise transmission by 40+ dB
- →Raised access floors—absorb footfall and provide cable routing without overhead noise
- →Acoustic ceiling tiles—sound-absorbing panels reduce reverberation in open areas
- →Partition wall ratings—meeting rooms designed for speech privacy
