Prominence and Presence

There is no way this Saarbrucken furniture store can keep a low profile like the houses in Masuria. It is simply too large and too tall. The building volume comprises 233,000 m³, its façade is almost windowless and its car park offers spaces for several hundred cars. It is absolutely impossible to integrate, rescale or even hide such a large building in the surrounding urban space. So, from the outset, the architects’ design has focused on prominence and presence, creating especially aesthetic and impressive architecture for this industrial area between the main road and the motorway, where traffic is heavy and beauty a rather rare commodity. The boxy volume is draped with ALUCOBOND® which looks as light and simple as folded paper. This appearance, however, belies the complexity of the planning and implementation required. The linear folds in the ALUCOBOND® curtain run close together and are tilted three-dimensionally. This means that no two parts of the façade are the same, and the 4,000 m² façade consists of approximately 2,000 individually cut tray panels measuring up to 700 mm in depth. This in itself would be a feat even using computer-aided design and fabrication. However, because the folds tilt at a one degree angle over 20 metres in height, every millimetre deviation from the calculated and planned dimensions increases to several centimetres over the length of the pleat. Any inaccuracy would lead to connections between elements no longer being snug and the joints, which are only 10 mm wide, would end up as wide gaps. This meant that during fabrication and above all while assembling the façade, dimensional tolerances were close to zero, and installation required master craftsmanship. ALUCOBOND® tray panels were the ideal material for this task because they can be cut and installed with millimetre precision and offer lasting dimensional stability. For instance, they remain dimensionally stable even when there are changes in temperature and they guarantee a façade with a clean, intact appearance. The pains taken to create this special building have paid off. The staging is successful: during daylight hours, sunlight casts moving highlights and shadows on the subtle silver shades of the ALUCOBOND® Brilliant Metallic façade. In the evening, red LEDs generate dramatic shadows and conjure up a festive atmosphere.
