Project Description

Flexbrick is applied at the parking’s façade favoring its urban integration and the extension of the public space between the project and the train station nearby. The alternation of solid construction and latticework plays with the light inside and outside the building and makes possible the insertion of natural elements, as the honeysuckle that grows all over the perimeter.

Project Description

Thanks to its versatility and adaptability, the Flexbrick® system lines the facades of this historical building, where a WWII bunker appeared. The King Kong architecture studio has been in charge of designing and adapting thanks to its versatility and adaptability, the architects considered the Flexbrick® system to line the facades of the old bunker, which has allowed them to customize the project by choosing the pattern, color and shape of their design finish. 5025 sq ft of flexible ceramic panels in white K2 smt back color have been used for this project, thus providing the building with a modern look and design. Owing to the building’s Atlantic location, it is exposed to winds of more than 62 mph; thus, for the facade safety, wind tests were performed with satisfactory results, hence obtaining the ATEx certificate by the CSTB this historical building.

Project Description

The large cylindrical Flexbrick® ceramic fabric facade gives an innovative appearance that encourages the filtering of sunlight and provides natural ventilation to the shopping mall’s parking lot. The investment group NEPI Rockcastle has invested 100 million euros in the shopping mall, built on a 4.2 ha plot with a net floor area of 42,200 meters. The project was managed by the architecture firm B2 International Consultants from Bucharest, the architects used the Flexbrick® construction system on some of the building’s facades. NEPI Rockcastle, the mall’s developer, wanted the building to give the city of Sibiu personality and a contemporary feel. Use of the Flexbrick® ceramic fabric also meant that the project could be customized, selecting the pattern, color and shape of the finish for its design. In this sense, the cylindrical facade of red ceramic panels (around 1,300 m2), applied directly to the prefabricated concrete structure, is worth noting.
