An ideal climate for success. A perfectly ventilated façade lets an office breathe a sigh of relief

Fresh air in the middle of London – an industry leader relies on GIG.

One of the world’s leading construction consultants, Ove Arup and Partners, awarded GIG the contract for the façade of its headquarters in central London. The project involved the design, production, delivery, and installation of 6,000 m² of different types of cladding, from aluminium rainscreen, transom and mullion and structural glazing to a complete atrium glass roof. The look of the building is dominated by the so-called “hub” made of glass fibre reinforced sandwich panels, glass, and stainless steel with external ventilation duct cladding. The front of the building gets its special character from a climate curtain façade made of steel and glass, suspended over five storeys. Both, the technical and optical aspects of the façade were designed specially for the project.

This top quality solution fully justified the faith shown by Ove Arup in the quality and services provided by its Austrian partner, GIG.
