Technical details: In order to provide sufficient stability against the vibrations caused by passing trains, the sunblinds were innovatively integrated into the facade profile. As cleaning from the outside adjacent to the railway is not permitted, every element is openable for cleaning purposes, with the hinges being cleverly hidden in the element. As well as the standard facade bracket, customized brackets were also designed to avoid clashing with the building‘s columns.

Installation: The panels at the ends of the building are fully glazed black enameled panels. Installation of elements started in January 2012 and was completed in April 2012, with work continuing uninterrupted during the coldest months in temperatures below -10°C.
