QUALITY HOTEL GLOBE STOCKHOLM PROJEKTBESKRIVNING
Byggherre: Nordic Choice Hotels, Arcona AB Arkitekt: White Arkitekter AB Glasentreprenör: Staticus Sverige AB, Guardian Industries Corp Byggsystem: Schueco USC 65N, Schueco FW50+ SG, Schueco FW50+, Schueco ADS 75SI, Schueco ASS 70HI, Schueco AWS 75SI T stick facades and roofs. This facade was designed as stick system assembled on site. We offered a solution to make the main façade structures as unitized façade – that means better quality and faster installation. Unitized façade parts were completed in 14 weeks. There were quite a lot of challenges to change the project, but thanks to the flexibility of architects and client, we managed to keep almost the same look of the façade and to meet all the requirements. Sound insulation between rooms became even better because of the separating gasket on each element connection. he project includes 3 682 m2 m2 The unitized façade system is based on Schueco USC 65N system, but to fulfill all architectural and technical requirements there were created 9 new aluminum profiles. Typical element size was 3 × 3,2 m, but for lower floors they were higher – 3,3 × 3,2 m. Because of dimensions, it was necessary to deliver almost all elements with open trucks, therefore we have ordered separate tents for packed elements protection during transportation. Another big challenge was that the elements were not vertically oriented in the same line, we needed to add special connection brackets for connection between upper and lower elements. For corner elements with the glazed corners there was also created a special solution without any vertical profile. Instead of vertical profiles for the structure strength, there unitized facades and 1 586 were added steel studs, which were covered with aluminum pipes in visible areas. Decorative outer frames were also fully prefabricated in our factory and delivered already installed on elements, therefore we didn’t need to perform any works on site from outside. On east façade the division of façade needed to be different, but the architect wanted to have the same look as everywhere else, therefore we needed to make fake external decoration frames in the middle of the glass units and to temper the glasses to avoid thermal breakage. Unitized façade transparent parts were glazed with structural glazing 3 layers glass units and to keep as much similar look from outside for opaque part it was used 2 layers structural glazing glass units and external glass with high light reflection. For ground floor, atrium facades and roofs there were used stick systems, assembled on site. In the connection between atrium façade and roof there are no horizontal profiles. 84 GLAS 1.2016 / glaspriset / GLASPRISET NOMINERINGAR
