Pionen Data Center
The internet as provided by a James Bond villain
Category Architectural Oddities, Outsider Architecture, Subterranean Sites
Bahnhof is one of Sweden's largest internet service providers. When CEO Jon Karlung secured a former nuclear bunker below 100 ft. of Stockholm bedrock as the site for a data center, he thought it might be fun to live out his fandom of 1970's sci-fi in the design of the place.
Pionen (taken from its Cold War code name) is a server housing center that can withstand a hydrogen bomb. If the power goes out, back up is provided by a couple German submarine engines. False waterfalls, indoor jungle plants, low lying fog, and a conference room with the image of the moon's surface on the floor complete a supervillain's dream pad.
