light and comfort in the interior spaces
For the natural lighting of Rengasse 10, a luxurious attic penthouse located in the heart of Vienna, they were chosen elegant and large FAKRO windowssolutions that have made it possible to guarantee maximum comfort and enhance the interior design choices thanks to the natural light penetrating through the window arranged over the entire height of the pivoting roof.The recently completed luxury residential building project in Vienna bears the signature of the Danish studio 3XN which has given shape to a volume able to integrate perfectly into the historical context, without sacrificing the contemporary character of the architecture that is revealed through the lively alternation between flat and curved surfaces.
Such surfaces are coated with opaque brown and beige panels and golden yellow lintelscommunicating visually with the warm colors of the surrounding buildings.
To further mark the composition a series of white string courses project outward away triangular terraces with soft shapes.
The building houses the commercial and service activities on the ground floor, enhancing the permeability with respect to the public space; a functional mix that extends to all upper levels, occupied by apartments and offices.
Maximum comfort with natural lighting
L’high slope of the roof pitches of the building made it possible to obtain cozy attics characterized by double height or mezzanines in which natural lighting is guaranteed through the installation of large windows from the roof that offer the maximum comfort both inside the premises and in terms of external view, offering a spectacular panorama over the roofs of the city.
The covering of the pitches is obtained by laying metal panels in colors consistent with the palette of the facades, creating a pleasant continuity between the elevations and the crowning.
The contribution of FAKRO windows
The entrance from natural light, as anticipated, is allowed thanks to the installation of numerous FAKRO windows positioned on the roof, designed to enhance the spaces and interior design choices.It is about pivot windows aligned on several levels together with high performance in terms of insulation and safety and equipped with motorized opening doors or fixed glazing; in some cases opaque reflective panels are used.
The models used are FTW-V P5 and FPW-V P5 complemented by electric external awnings and combined in numerous situations by fixed additional elements to allow better lighting and a wider view of the city panorama.
All 154 FAKRO roof windows are equipped with the integrated Z-Wave electric handling system.
