this extraordinary achievement
Technical details
Brief insights about the project
Unitised Curtain Wall System
The main façade uses a unitised curtain wall system supported by steel trusses, providing both strength and flexibility to meet the project’s structural and aesthetic goals.
Steel Trusses Support
A series of 21-meter high steel trusses support the façade, designed to ensure stability and durability while maintaining an open, modern look.
Custom Extrusions
The limited space for connecting to the steel trusses required the development of custom extrusions, engineered to fit precisely within the available area while maintaining structural integrity.
Seamless Connections
The connections to the steel trusses are hidden inside the profiles, creating a clean, uninterrupted view without visible fasteners, aligning with the design intent for a sleek façade.
Stick System Integration
The system is a Stick System combined with a Steel Truss System, offering a reliable, adaptable framework that can support large glass panels while meeting performance standards.
Structural and Aesthetic Harmony
The combination of custom extrusions and the hidden connection design ensures that both the structural and aesthetic requirements of the façade are met, providing a visually striking and robust solution.
