Hollander

The Hollander project in Barendrecht is an extension of the Greenery distribution centre with a new head office, pilotage office and shipping office. As an alternative to aluminium, a steel window frame with four-sided surface mounted glass is preferred for the entire façade surface.
Because of the steel construction minimal dimensions are achieved in combination with high durability. The glass has a gradient ceramic frit to minimize the discomforting daylight in the office. The sun is blocked by a cantilevered roof combined by a reflective coating.
A new hidden connection is engineered for the standard window frame system, so that the steel sections seem to be blending into each other.
