2006 – 2007.

Concept:
Proiek:: presents a roughly 23,000 mē curtain wall based on an innovative adjustable self-supporting structure which adapts to the different layouts of the material. The curtain wall is made of Uglass reinforced glass, simulating "rice paper", one of the architect's initial premises.

Proiek:: is committed to innovative solutions in facades for architecture. Within the structure of buildings, the facade is the element forming the connection between the building and its setting, giving it personality and taking on great importance in modern architecture.

The complexity involved in a facade makes it an item with a large number of possibilities for variations and adding value (blind facades, through-ventilated facades, facades with one or two skins .). This is why Proiek:: works on the research, development and innovation of specific solutions for facades which finally work out in great comfort for the user. As a result of this work Proiek:: is developing lines of work seeking solutions in the following fields:

  • Sustainable buildings: Architectural integration of panels and photovoltaic glass, use of ecological, non-contaminating materials...
  • Greater standards of quality, design and performance: Stainless steel carpentry (anchorages, strips, plates, glass stops, frames, etc.), new materials and solutions, sealing, energy savings…
