EXTERNAL ENVELOPE 57
Renovation of offi ce building with captivating rhythmic facade
A
company working out technically sophisticated solutions wants to communicate this to the outside world with an appropriate visual business card. The same was true for RE-AVES in Helmond (NL). Managing Director Reinier Vogels bought a building a few years back to completely gut it and make it ready for the next 20 years (or
more). Spaces were opened up, everything was fi nished down to the smallest detail, and the Linarte facade with random profi ling was the crowning touch. RE-AVES contacted fellow native LXarchitects.
LXarchitects explored the
possibilities. They compared materials and colours, also considered wooden variants. “The choice eventually fell on aluminium combined with stucco. This provides a nice contrast, isn’t as commonplace, and will stand the test of time. The neutral black and white colour palette also repeats itself in the interior, where we added warmth through natural materials.” The architect deliberately sought a changing rhythm for the new facade. A private home in the city with a Linarte facade visually convinced its client.
LXarchitects chose random profi ling and determined a nice mix. Craftsmen neatly adopted this design and fi nished between the frames with fl ashing. Installers followed the drawing and alternated narrow,
border profi les according to the design. All the profi les, accounting for 78 m², were placed within fi ve days. Smooth installation is one of Linarte’s advantages. You have to think of it as a kind of accordion with 2 mm margin (narrower and wider) per profi le. So if there are already frames, you can still slide various profi les in and out to create the desired look. That gives more freedom in execution. Ease of installation is also a strong argument in new buildings, in addition to the vertical character that makes the facade easy to clean and the possibility of integrating techniques. Here, for example, cables from the embedded security cameras run neatly behind the profi les, for a sleek result.
