GLASS FOR FAÇADE 2021

46 47 GLASS FOR FAÇADE EDITION 2021 GLASS FOR FAÇADE EDITION 2021 ZAC de la Montjoie is an urban development area in Saint-Denis, in the north of Paris, planned according to ecological principles. Here, particularly strict specifications were applied for the promotion of biodiversity and the use of sustainable materials such as wood. In addition to public green spaces, there are infrastructure facilities as well as residential and administrative buildings. The latter includes the 24,400 m 2 office building “The Curve”. The name of this new eight-storey building refers to its curvilinear basic shape, which stretches across the site. In addition, the views convey a certain dynamic because the corners of the building were concavely and convexly curved at Glas Döring, Berlin. The pane structure consists of an outer laminated glass with COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 coating on the inside. The building is accessed via two equal entrances. Around an “inner street” there are restaurants, a fitness- and business centre with co-working spaces, bars and a café. While designing the floor plans, the planners placed emphasis on flexibility of use, natural light and spatial transparency.
