anska Sverige AB Arkitekt: Johan Iwdal, Arkitektbyrån Design Glasentreprenör: Staticus Glasleverantör: Guardian Glass Byggsystem: Wicona T he concept of the project was – water, greenery and durability. It was made both externally and internally. 10 floors building with five-story high wing on each side. On the roof there are two appreciated roof terraces with stunning views. The facades are inspired by Gothenburg’s close relationship with water. The offices were designed to be completely made of glass and therefore being heavily subject to the sunshine. To protect the daily-workers the architect predisposed expanded-metal sunscreens and choose silk-screened glasses for windows. Silk-screened glasses were covered by double screen printing. Internal side of the window was printed with black screen, external with white one. In this way silk-screened glasses also reduce glare and increases occupants’ privacy. In higher building a hybrid facade type dual-skin (openable windows with a glass screen in front) was chosen in order to effectively protect the building interior from solar heat gains and noise. Furthermore, the building is located in Gothenburg, thus it had to sustain a heavy snow load in winter. To achieve both goals Metalltech created a specific 400mm mesh in white aluminum. Durability: Certified according to the LEED’s highest level Platinum environmental system. Park49 was nominated for 2016 building award. 82 GLAS 1.2018 / glaspriset / GLASPRISET NOMINERINGAR
