After intensive examination of the building which dates back to the 1970s, a general refurbishment began at the start of 2018. The architects chosen for the project were the Parisian architects Chaix et Morel et Associes together with Christian Anton Pichler ZT GmbH; nowadays, the house of social security appears in a new light. The modern, sustainable building, which features optimum façade insulation and minimum energy consumption, has won numerous accolades.

Visually, the project is characterised by the clear structure of the existing building as well as the additions which makes a top-quality contribution to urban development with its arrangement, diffusion and the resulting views. ProMetall was instructed to execute the façade, including fascia cladding and cover for the view from below. We produced stamped aluminium elements that are up to 4.5 m high, special perforation type “Rt 10-20” to create a visual statement and ensure optimum shading. This project is yet another proof of ProMetall’s strength in design and precision, based on years of close cooperation with façade builders and architects. The result – another example of top-quality, sustainable and outstanding architecture in Austria.
