In order to be able to fit perfectly into the prefabricated elements, special formats with slightly different sizes and cross-sections were also used.
The prefabrication of the complete facade elements with windows and ready-to-install facade ceramics supplied by Agrob Buchtal offered several advantages: the individual components could be quickly and precisely joined in a factory hall regardless of the weather and then be easily mounted on site. However, the prefabrication also made it possible to develop the building envelope right from the start according to the architects' credo of "minimal, simple and green" and, as in many other projects of the office, to use "durable and recyclable materials which reduce the amount of maintenance required". KeraTwin facade tiles consist of natural raw materials with high-quality clay as the main component. Thanks to the Hytect coating, which is durably baked in at the factory, they improve the air quality by decomposing exhaust gases such as nitrogen oxide and at the same time have an antibacterial effect withoutusing chemical products, thus effectively preventing algae and moss formation
