Many developed companies solve the need of new and modern administrative spaces that would suit European trends and represent their owner in the eyes of business partners.
External envelope of the new building that is connected with the original one through a covered tube, is made of a semi-structural facade with framed windows on western, southern and eastern side. Schüco FW 50 was used on the windows and also the 3 meter high glazed skylight in the ceiling (in the shape of tetrahedral pyramid) is made of it.
Main entrance is made of subtle spatial steel structure roofed with a Schüco semi-structural facade under which an entrance revolving door is placed. A big glazed canopy of approximately 50 m2 was also a part of realization.
Safety is ensured by using fire-resistant walls and ABS barrier complemented with escape staircase – a steel structure with Schüco FW 50 structured elements.
