It’s not quite that easy to say what the colour of the new Simmel Center in the heart of Dresden is: the facade is composed of multicoloured matt and glossy aluminium panels coated in all colours of the spectrum, which shimmer all the shades of the rainbow depending on how the light falls: a lustrous sight for anyone passing by on the train or in a car.
The aluminium look is also embraced by the building’s window profiles: the 880 window elements of the GEALAN S 9000 system are done in the colour GEALAN-acrylcolor® white aluminium. At 204 metres in length and 40 metres in width, the Simmel Center is a massive construction.
IT companies, the administration for a health insurance provider, a large food market and Dresden’s biggest hotel with almost 800 beds are all housed on 50,000 square metres of floor space.

The new head building at the GEALAN production site in Tanna, Thuringia, combines large glass surfaces together with smart ventilation.
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 the Hamburg-Hohenfelde park quarter, 32 attractive cooperative flats have been built as three buildings around a park in the last two years in two construction phases. In the complex, 26 apartments have been made accessible according to DIN 18040 part 2, the other 6 apartments are accessible according to DIN 18040 part 2 and are also designed for unrestricted wheelchair use. The housing area is built around a public park and the Alster tributary is just a few minutes away. As a conventional masonry construction, the building in the busy Muehlendamm area has been given a facade made from closed facing and fully glazed loggia which made it possible to have lounges and bedrooms on the louder side of the building.
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.
