“Empire Riverside” Hotel in Hamburg, Germany

Colourfast harbour panorama

Floor-to-ceiling glazing of 6,400 square metres ipasol solar protection glazing

The bronze tower completely changes the Hamburg skyline – it rises 65 metres above the new “Hafenkrone” district between Reeperbahn, the harbour, and Speicherstadt. The guests of the new luxury hotel “Empire Riverside” can enjoy a fantastic panoramic view over the city at Elbe river because all of the rooms have floor-to-ceiling glazing over the entire width of the room. The famous architect David Chipperfield created a 21-storey architectural masterpiece that fits right into the Hanseatic city. The facade is equipped with 6,400 square metres of ipasol solar protection glazing, which not only provides an optimum indoor climate, but also a true-colour view.

New super warm glass

Interpane optimizes the energy balance via triple insulation glazing

Windows with triple insulation glazing are essential for passive and low-energy houses. However, they are also becoming more popular for conventional residential buildings and renovation projects. With a U_g-value down to 0.5 W/m²K, they are as effective as well-insulated masonry and enable passive solar energy gains. With the new ”super warm glazing“ iplus 3L and iplus 3CL, Interpane recently managed to increase the solar energy gain (g-value) to 55 percent without any sacrifices in thermal insulation. The light transmittance was increased to 72 percent, and with their excellent colour neutrality, or clearness of the coating, these new developments are also a visual “delight”.

New Trade Fair Centre Stuttgart

Glass, steel and a "green wave"

With a total of 100,000 square metres of exhibition area, Stuttgart's New Trade Fair Centre offers abundant floor space. At the eastern entrance there is a spacious piazza, partly spanned by a flying glass roof. Passing through this entrance, the visitors reach the glassy courtyard. From here, the "green wave" of the exhibition halls and exhibition park open out. The curved roofs, partly covered with greenery, fit in harmonically with the landscape. Glass is an omnipresent material: Approximately 50,000 square metres of functional glazing ensure energy efficiency and a pleasant indoor climate, and allow the items on display to be presented in their true colours.
