Project Feature

Due to its geometric shape and openness inside, this building reflects the concept of “free thinking”. A supporting steel framework has been erected above the concrete slabs. The building consists of six different curtain wall systems in total. The ground floor façade, 1,000 sqm, consists of a stick construction in steel, made of welded, sharp-edged T-profiles with external gaskets and pressure beads. The steel façades, 1,300 sqm, complete the vertical walls between the individual components that are fixed to the primary steel construction and consist of prefabricated units with gaskets and screw fitted pressure beads. The roof areas, 1,500 sqm, have been developed as rhomb and triangular shaped “scaled” aluminium panel façades. The glass has been developed with integrated photovoltaic modules. Due to the curved roof areas, installation have been carried out with three-dimensionally adjustable fixings. The side areas, 3,500 sqm, have been developed as stepped, rhombic and triangular shaped aluminium units. The glass units have been executed with a congruent bicoloured screen printing. For natural ventilation electrically operated triangular windows were installed. 1,000 sqm of glazed soffit strongly curved.
