Project Description

Due to its architecture, geometry and façade design—featuring pilaster strips set at intervals of approximately 70 cm—the project presents a particular technical challenge.

A key issue was the geometric adaptation of the façade profiles: the profiles for floors 1 to 3 had to be identical to those of the top floor, even though the floor-to-ceiling height there is significantly greater.

 

Technical Solution

As part of cost optimisation, the originally planned element façade was revised.

Instead, a solution using window elements was chosen, which allows for more efficient installation and significantly reduces construction costs.

In a further step, an additional substructure was developed, which enables the subsequent installation of the vertical pilaster strips.

This solution allows for precise, phased installation whilst ensuring a clear and elegant structural design of the façade.

Provided Tasks

• Development of the initial profile studies for the original thinking of a unitised façade system.
• Development of an alternative façade solution based on window units
• Development of a structural connection detail for the vertical strips
• Optimisation of the installation sequence across multiple construction phases
