Facade Engineering

The building has three typical designs and appearances.

1. SOUTH FACADE:
The south facade consists of a double shell.
The inner shell includes the exterior joinery of the apartments, completely surrounded by coloured enamel glass (black and white).
The outer shell encloses the balconies and forms a visual whole of a continuous, light facade.

2. EAST AND WEST FACADES:
These facades are made of coloured enamel glass (black and white).

3. NORTH FACADE:
This facade includes vertical joinery strips featuring screen-printed glass in between.

Three different facade structures, three different studies.
