Project description

At TCK I, a complex made up of 3 office blocks, the façade underwent a complete renovation following HENN Architekten’s (Munich) plans, and the insulation was enhanced with new glazing and sunshade system. In order to install the sun position and light incidence-controlled sunshade system, a scaffold-like structure was built around the building’s envelope. This consisted of a welded construction made up of 100% prefabricated steel profile sub-assemblies at our plant in Greven and screwed together at the construction site. Specially made profiles were also used for this project.
