O’Bloc climbing gym in Ostermundigen, Switzerland, just a few minutes outside the Swiss capital Bern, has been planning a huge extension, adding roughly 2500 m² of climbing surface to their existing gym.

I’m really happy I was chosen for the design of the walls. It’s been a very interesting project with many different wall sectors and many constraints, as the building was already pretty much finalized. I’ve used my Rhino / Grasshopper workflow to design the walls and add panels with holes to all surfaces for better visualisations.

And finally, after a long wait, the permissions are there and O’Bloc can finally start building their extension.

Below are some images of my design for the extension:

The animations above rely on the WebVR WordPress plugin which might not work at its full potential in all browsers.

Thank you O’Bloc!!!
