They gave the aging 4th-district building a new image. The existing corrugated-sheet railings were replaced by finished components of reinforced concrete, the existing loggia glazing was removed and sliding pivot windows were installed on all upper floors.
Shaped tube sliding elements with an expanded metal filling supplied by ProMetall were chosen as sun protection. The type “Lustenau”, 2 mm aluminium, was used for the project; it ensures perfect visual protection and sun protection for the residents on one of Vienna’s busiest traffic routes. The sun, unobstructed views and maximum privacy are only a gesture away and suddenly sliding to the right or left makes a lot of sense. By moving the individual panels, you change your personal perspective and thus the façade design; this turns the building into a work of art that reinvents itself on a daily basis.
