Festo AG & Co. Technology Centre in Esslingen
The entire complex is a low-energy building made of glass with krypton-filled panes.
Glass atriums form aesthetic and communicative links between the
office complexes.
The architect responsible for this, Ulrich Jaschek, an enthusiastic sailor, wanted to round out the innovative building with innovative as well as functional sun protection and commissioned Reckmann to develop a special and innovative shading system for the atriums. We designed external and self-supporting large surface shading with fully automated hydraulic controls.
Four easily modified RF90-4 reefing drives per atrium roll up a total of six sails. The basic idea was to break away from traditional right-angle surface shading and instead to develop a "simple" effective design. The sail shape is considered to be ideal here.
