Wicona’s aluminium curtain walling was used for the headquarters building for KfW Bank in Frankfurt

The new headquarters building for KfW Bank in Frankfurt has a bespoke double-skin facade constructed using Wincona’s aluminium unitised curtain walling. The company claims this has contributed to the building becoming one of the world’s most sustainable office buildings, with a primary energy consumption of 98kWh/m2 a year. The exterior has a skin of fixed tempered glass panels and colourful ventilation “flaps” in red, blue and green, and the internal facade has alternating opening and fixed glazed units. The Council for Tall ΢Ȧs and Urban Habitat has awarded the KfW project “World’s Best Tall ΢Ȧ”.
