About this project

The cladding is composed of AFR-Airport type expanded metal elements. They were supplied folded in a V-shape with an asymmetrical configuration. Profiles were welded to the mesh to ensure mechanical strength, and used for fastening.

“The façade is draped in a veil that becomes its very identity. This protective filter against the sun, sight and aggression, is made up of a mesh of expanded metal with harmonious folds which, depending on the time of day and their position, vibrate and catch the light differently, allowing the red cladding to show through to a greater or lesser extent” Hellin Sebbag
