einklinker_1Boundless farsightedness, this is the basic principle of Dutch diplomacy. No other nation in the world presents itself so inviting and transparent in Berlin – and no other nation commends itself with such experimental architecture. The giant showcase windows on the first floor, a freely suspended glass alcove, a skybox in a dizzy height and a glass diagonal, which is obliquely drawn through the central building cube, are only a few examples of the extraordinary creations. As bespoken tailors of state of the art building couture, we were able to participate in the realization of the complicated façade structure and numerous special components. We designed, produced and assembled the aluminium structure of the main façade, the diagonal glass façade of the passage, the steel-glassfaçade and the floor glazing for the accessible glass ramp, the glass façade and the aluminium sheet metal covering of the skybox and the steel- and glass-façade of the multi-purpose room in the first storey.

 

Furthermore, our engineers made the design and realization of the following elements: the attic- and aluminium sheet metal covering, the stone wall, the sliding glass façade, the skylight border covering, the sliding skylight and the bullet-proof glass facades in the ground floor.
