CUSTOM FACADE SOLUTIONS

Innovation, collaboration, and custom-made facade solutions set the stage for the award-winning Herningsholm building. Hi-Con delivered facade panels, sandwich elements, and balconies in Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) - a delivery that required several newly developed working methods. Among other things, the elements demanded new production and assembly methods, as well as a new 3D method to handle the many different elements for the building.

From the start, C. F. Møller's vision was to meet and deliver a finished building that lived up to what the architectural project promised. The building that stands today is almost identical in its design and cuts. This required innovative thinking to achieve the exact elegant and light expression for the facades.

INSULATED FACADE ELEMENTS IN ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE

For Herningsholm, Hi-Con delivered 370 facade elements, including insulated facade elements, facade panels, cornice elements, balconies, and wall slabs in light UHPC CRC i2®. Along with the large glass sections, these facade elements contribute to the building's light and elegant appearance.

In 2017, Herningsholm won an award at the International Architecture Day and was further recognized as one of the best projects among 50,000 published projects on archilovers.com at the end of the year.
