Functional space and window technology
The large-scale parallel hinged windows integrated into the façade are unique and meet the most stringent requirements. These were developed by Krapf AG as part of a customised solution for heat and smoke extraction and ventilation purposes. When closed, the windows lie flush against the outer surface of the corrugated exposed concrete façade.
