There is no ‘machine power’ involved in the making of the rattan. These structures are hand crafted by Thai artisans with generations of experience behind them. ‘Furthermore, the rattan factory in Bangkok is powered by the people who work there. ‘The sculptural segments were designed in accordance with the functionality: lighting, seating and directional flow, all culminating in a large 8m high sculptural statement piece which illuminates the lobby and compliments the image of the brand,’ says the design team. Located in Waregem, the project reactivates a 300sq m mix-use space through ‘balance and calm.’ Wellness and an eco approach were also important and the architects decided upon installing a flowing rattan element, praising the natural material’s environmentally friendly qualities - it is entirely natural, renewable, and biodegradable. Belgium 528Įnter Projects Asia cleverly used a sustainable structure to refresh a factory building in Belgium. ![]() A white brick loft extension sits on top of the historic body of the house, contrasting beautifully with the red bricks and adorned window frames below. The façade combines an attractive mixture of period and contemporary design. One bathroom wall is replaced by tri-fold doors that open out onto the ground floor courtyard, and wooden stairs are tucked into corners, freeing up floor space on the well-connected levels. HOME DESIGNER ARCHITECTURAL 2017 DRAWING INSULATION WINDOWSThese elements, alongside huge windows and painted brick in subtle hues, give the house a light, honest feel. Four mezzanine-style floors create a flow between the spaces in this 330 sq m building, where interior walls are largely absent, making way for curtains and resulting in a highly flexible layout. Retaining the existing four walls and solid metal beam that runs through the centre of the building for support, the team added exposed wooden flooring. The building that became the studio’s Karper project, in Molenbeek, Brussels, had served for years as a factory and office. This, combined with the team’s inclination towards renewable, raw materials, means the resulting works often feel like a creative revival of bygone eras. This design can be readily adapted for your specific building material requirements and project specifications.Hé Architektuur’s projects look primarily at rescuing the remnants of existing buildings. The drawing below depicts a typical exterior wall section of a commercial rainscreen design using steel studs, exterior gypsum panels, exterior insulation, z-girts and a wood cladding for rainscreen siding material. Whether your rainscreen design is a retro-fit of an existing structure (residential or commercial) or a new building or home, The technical team at Climate-Shield is hard at work to help you develop sensible solutions for your design needs and project requirements. The Climate-Shield Z-Girt is manufactured from the same rugged marine grade aluminum as the rainscreen starter rail and the Climate-Shield rainscreen clips for long life, reliability and superior performance. The depth of the Z-Girt can be sized to accommodate different thicknesses of exterior insulation. The Z-Girt provides a solid fastening base to maintain the strength and performance integrity of the rain screen system. Climate-Shield has developed a Z-Girt that works very effectively with its rain screen siding system. ![]() HOME DESIGNER ARCHITECTURAL 2017 DRAWING INSULATION HOW TOWhen using exterior insulation materials, one of the design and construction challenges for both architects and builders is how to properly fasten the siding or cladding material. ![]() Different projects have specific design requirements, budget requirements, energy efficiency strategies and life cycle cost requirements. It is becoming increasingly common for insulation to be applied to the exterior of buildings, rather than solely inside the building envelope. We have recently developed a solution for commercial rainscreen installations that are using exterior insulation outside the traditional building envelope. The Climate-Shield™ Rain Screen System is continually developing additional rain screen products and solutions to meet the unique needs and requirements of the architectural and design community. ![]()
