The new head building at the GEALAN production site in Tanna, Thuringia, combines large glass surfaces together with smart ventilation.
The glass facade is a mix of aluminium and PVC elements: the mullion-and-transom structure can withstand wind and building loads and is lined with fixed glazed PVC windows and panels from the GEALAN S 9000 system in the colour GEALAN-acrylcolor® anthracite grey. The newbuild contains a cafeteria, a training workshop and offices. GEALAN-CAIRE® smart was installed to provide the best ventilation in the cafeteria in particular: the ventilation system creates ideal air conditions in the room either completely on its own or through user intervention, and it does this while making efficient use of energy through a heat-recovery system.
Sophisticated facade architecture and the highest ventilation requirements: in the GEALAN head building, both come together.

Window profiles couldn’t look any more marvellous: the GEALAN S 9000 system’s floor-to-ceiling windows in the Dresden living quarters MaryAnn feature the colour GEALAN-acrylcolor® gold and radiate right across the entire Postplatz square – a central transportation in the centre of Dresden.
In a good neighbourhood
Urban living in old age – that’s what the Burano nursing home in the Dutch city of Zaandam located just 20 minutes away from Amsterdam makes a reality. The home has 144 flats and is tailored to meet the needs of its elderly residents.
A green in the countryside
The little village of Cromvoirt is a major highlight on any golfer’s map and is located in the Dutch province of North Brabant. Golfers travel from all around to Bernardus Golf: a challenging 18-hole championship golf course that unites golf architecture together with nature.
Mirror of nature
The mountain scenery of the Albanian alpine village of Razma is so stunningly gorgeous that the architects of this holiday villa decided to mirror it in the building: its A-shape reflects the jagged peaks of the surrounding two-thousand-metre mountains, while the glass facade mimics the pristine nature of the alpine region of Shkodra.
