ROCKPANEL GROUP

Located in the Hippocrate Commercial Area to the east of Montpellier, the Fahrenheit building accommodates several businesses and medical offices. This refined and HQE-certified architectural design blends elegantly into its environment. Using ROCKPANEL cladding, the facades are wrapped in a pristine white covering which is accented by interweaved vertical green bands. These bands appear to be suspended from one floor to another, interconnecting the panoramic window bays that also wind around the building. They also evoke in miniature the huge sun shades that protect the exterior metal stairways, tucked away in the corners like an anchor at the prow of a ship. The Fahrenheit building appears to be designed like a huge puzzle, its Z-shaped geometry breaking up the regularity of its cuboid shape.

A new low-energy school building in Copenhagen is decorated with ROCKPANEL board material. The façade cladding is sustainable, eye-catching and conveys spaciousness. Energy optimisation and a natural match with the surroundings are among the key benefits of a new school building in Copenhagen, Denmark. The school, Skolen i Sydhavnen, is designed by JJW Architects, and is built according to the Danish low-energy class 2015. The artist, Peter Holst Henkel, has made the artistic decoration and the façade has become like a canvas, beautifully reflecting the interaction between art and architecture.
