The Project
Impressions from the project process
With an X-shaped floor plan, the architectural concept of this building created a new highlight in the urban development of the city of Hradec Králové. Originally, all external surfaces should have received an orange-painted facade. This concept was completely rejected due to the high-quality concrete surface finish.
For the visibly remaining surfaces of the wall structure, architectural concrete of the very highest quality was required - free of pores and without any variations in the shading.
The flexible waler arrangement of the VARIO GT 24 wall formwork elements allowed the realization of the required tie pattern.
Regularly arranged circular windows and a defined joint and tie pattern in the wall area.
The attractive colour design helps visitors to find their way round.
The architectural concept of the interior design provided clear lines and well-arranged structures of the building elements.

We worked intensively with the PERI formwork in the planning stage so we could realise the prespecified joint arrangement of 2.50 x 3.30 m. For the use of self-sealing concrete PERI offered us a customised and capable formwork solution based on the VARIO girder formwork. The owner is very satisfied with the results achieved.
