Facade systems from Rieder

Product description

Product: concrete skin
Architect: Studio Gang
Colour: anthracite, liquid black, sahara, sandstone
Surface: ferro
Scope: 4.229 m²

Solstice on the Park is a 26-storey, 250-apartment residential tower block with angles that perfectly catch the sunlight. The sunlight and the production of solar energy are maximised in the winter and reduced in the summer. This means that on hot days the air-conditioning system can be turned down. The building affords stunning views of Chicago’s skyline.

Concept

The 13 mm thin panels, available in a range of colours, surfaces, and textures, offer vast design flexibility for creating customised building envelopes. The material is weather-resistant, durable, and low-maintenance. Custom sizes of up to 5 metres in length enable a versatile architectural design.

The material guarantees absolute safety and fire resistance due to its excellent thermal properties (fire protection class A1 "non-combustible" according to DIN 4102). With its ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, Rieder sets itself high standards for environmental protection. The environmental product declaration, EPD, gives precise indicators for the life cycle assessment.

Rieder developed a CO2-reduced concrete, which is intended to eventually become cement-free. Gradually, the cement in the facade panels is being replaced by natural, local pozzolans. In the first step, 50% of the cement was substituted, resulting in a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions

concrete skin is available in all colour collections:
greyscale: polar white, off-white, ivory, silvergrey, chrome, anthracite, liquid black
bricky: terracotta, coralline, oxide red, burgundy, merlot
timber: terra, larch, oak, walnut, ebony
pietra: sahara, sandstone, cotton, vanilla, almond

Textures: The diverse textures add liveliness and depth to any facade. The various structures create an exciting interplay of light and shadow that changes depending on the angle of view. The different characteristics better emphasise the naturalness of the concrete material and the authentic appearance.

Surfaces:
matt: matt or brushed finish
ferro light: lightly blasted finish
ferro: blasted finish
