Variety of Effects with a Wide Variety of Material Sizes

Exceptional Shingle Façade for the Innovation Center

An Innovation Center with a striking façade was built near the city of Bamberg for the Kübrich Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG: The new elliptically shaped building has a shingle façade in which the shingles were mounted like fish scales using fitted seams. The special feature of the façade is the variety of shingle sizes used, which lends the façade a lively appearance.

A total of six different shingle heights as well as six shingle widths were mounted on the 450 square meter façade of the "Project and Innovation Center for Electromobility Test Systems" in the Franconian town of Priesdorf. To create the façade, factory pre-patinated titanium-zinc NedZink NOVA supplied by BOEHME^® SYSTEMS as tape material was used to produce the shingles, which were then mounted on the rear-ventilated boarding using clips. Due to the different formats used, the result is a non-uniform facade that also changes its appearance depending on the viewing angle and the amount of sunlight reflected.
