SANDEFJORD ICE RINK

In Sandefjord, carpenter Dag Olsen and his colleagues at Bygg og Maskin AS are busy mounting STENI façade panels on the new ice rink at the Bugårdsparken recreation centre. He estimates that two people can install around 70 square metres of façade panels each day.“I think this is the fastest way to install a façade. The panels are pre-drilled, so once we get them screwed in place, the wall is basically finished,” says Olsen. “This project uses a combination of STENI Nature, STENI Colour and STENI Vision. The panels are numbered and stacked in the correct order on the pallet in accordance with the specific design. This is a system that I can recommend,” says Olsen, who is in the process of mounting panels to create the image of an ice skater... Altro

Nickby Heart

In Nickby, about 35 km northeast of Finland’s capital Helsinki, we find Nickby Heart – a school that used STENI Colour and STENI Vision in combination with interesting architecture to create a unique designed and vivid expression.Weatherproof!“We wanted each area of the schoolyard to have its own identity, and STENI façade panels gave us just what we wanted. The colours are sharp and clear – and they really stand up to the sun, wind and weather. In addition, we could get graphics at the same quality. It was not so expensive either,” says Pentti Kareoja, architect at ARK-house arkkitehdit Oy.The architect chose to use STENI Vision and STENI Colour façade panels – colourful and playful. Altro

ZENNE GARDEN - ST. JANS-MOLENBEEK

The project Zennetuin consists of 3 houses and a large public garden in the heart of Sint-Jans-Molenbeek, Brussels. The route of the former river, Kleine Zenne, is still clearly present on the site as an open space surrounded by an array of building typologies: warehouses, residential buildings and public service buildings. The ground is polluted with heavy metals and is exempt from remediation on the condition that the existing concrete floor slab is preserved and not perforated. For the construction of the Zennetuin we will thus start building on this slab. Large ‘sculpted flower pots’ and a spacious layer of ground on the concrete slab will guarantee sufficient chances of survival for vegetation and for the complex water management.... Altro

Rockpanel Stones

Solid as a rock, yet highly flexible. Rockpanel Stones panels offer you the best of both worlds: they look like stone and have the same fire-resilient qualities, but they can also be bent and curved. Order your samples here Once you’ve curved and placed the panels in the way you like, you don’t have to worry about shrinking or expanding. As the panels do not respond to changes in temperature or moisture, dimensional stability for the years to come is guaranteed. This allows you to use narrow joints Caption As the Rockpanel Stones panels are light-weight, they are very easy to handle and particularly suitable for use on high-rise buildings. Going for unusual recesses or other striking features? Virtually everything is pos... Altro

Nya Triangeln

Large-scale renovation and expansion work in the heart of Malmö have resulted in an elegant complex that makes this district even more attractive. This residential and commercial building complex comprises a number of interlinked buildings accommodating a shopping centre on the ground floor as well as office and residential complexes on the upper floors. The light natural stone used on the lower floors stands in contrast to the dark, engobed terracotta on the upper façades, which, with its sintered surface, exudes a distinct metallic effect that changes depending on the light. The slimline profile of the TERRART® Mid elements creates a distinctive structure. More information about NBK Ceramic are on the Hunter Douglas website. (see link... Altro
