Membrane facade for Nestlé Purina in Wroclaw
We designed a wavy membrane facade with concave and convex arches.
Year: 2015
Location: Wroclaw, Poland
Area: 2000m2
Material: Serge Ferrari PRECONTRAINT 902 S2, PVC
Construction: Abastran sp z o.
General contractor:KAJIMA POLAND sp. o.
Scope: Detailed design
In 2015, an innovative design of a membrane facade for Nestle Purina was implemented in Wroclaw. This project aimed not only at improving the aesthetic appearance of the building, but also at increasing its functionality through the use of modern materials and construction technologies.
The facade was designed in the form of a dynamic wave with concave and convex arches, giving the building a modern and unique look. The material used was Serge Ferrari PRECONTRAINT 902 S2, PVC, which is known for its high strength and weather resistance. The membrane is fastened and tensioned using specially developed aluminum profiles, which ensures its stability and durability. The distance between the masts is 6 to 12 meters, allowing large spans without the need for additional supports. The facade reaches a height of up to 12 meters and a length of almost 190 meters, a total of almost 2,000 m2.
For the construction of the facade, the Serge Ferrari PRECONTRAINT 902 S2 PVC membrane was used, which ensures high durability and resistance to external influences.
The facade is characterized by a wave shape with concave and convex arches and is assembled with specially developed aluminum profiles that ensure appropriate membrane tension.
The facade is 12 meters high, almost 190 meters long and the span between the columns is 6 to 12 meters, giving a total area of almost 2,000 m2.
The facade not only improves the aesthetics of the building, but also protects its interior from excessive solar radiation and improves thermal insulation.
A PVC membrane facade requires minimal maintenance, which mainly consists of regular control of tension and cleaning of the surface.
The challenge was to adapt the shape of the facade to the existing building structure and to ensure the durability and stability of the entire structure with large spans between the supports.
