Architecture’s purpose is to support the community, enhance communication and thus serve people. Based on this philosophy, the residential complex Kreuzbrueckl was placed on the Salzburg housing market in February 2023 and is a further ProMetall reference for a stylish and proven exterior design in the sector balcony panels, staircase railings, pergolas and garbage room cladding. The tried and tested expanded metal type “Feldkirch“, a RAL-powder-coated aluminium expanded metal of 2 mm thickness which was processed in various sectors on a total area of 1,300 m2 was used for this project.  

Even though only one product variant was chosen, creativity and smartness played an important role in the implementation process. For the balcony panels, the panels were installed with the openings facing upwards which resulted in the highest possible visual protection for the occupants of the residential units, especially when viewed diagonally from below. In contrast, the elements chosen for staircase railings, pergolas and garbage room claddings, were installed with the openings facing downwards to achieve high visual protection when viewed horizontally on the one hand as well as transparency when viewed diagonally downwards. The result: open spaces and functional areas that are visually attractive and at the same time extend the living area outdoors. For those who appreciate the added value of Salzburg’s air quality.
