The office building lies on the edge of bustling
Praterstern square, the most attractive open space resource in the city
of Vienna. Covering an area of about 5,000 m², the new 8-floor office
building consists of two almost parallel structures with a central
atrium.
Although eight different facade types were used the highlight of the
office building is the Texlon® ETFE Foil Roof. With a span of 26 m, the
construction covers an area of about 1,000 m² and is supported on 13
steel trusses. Thanks to Vector Foiltec’s Texlon® ETFE Roof System, the
supporting structure is considerably lighter than would be necessary for
a glass roof. What's more, the double layered ETFE foil exhibits a
certain self-cleaning effect due to the chemical surface properties, and
provides solar shading as well as thermal insulation.
