The overall concrete façade system is composed of terraces, side walls, slats and vertical sun-screen lamels, all manufactured by Enjoy concrete. The flat vertical UHPC sun-screen elements have reached 120MPa compressive strength before adding PVA fibres and steel reinforcement. The slat length is 5.4m and cross-section thickness is 75-85 mm. 

The slim UHPC sun-screen lamels of this renovation project compatibly coexists in visual with the limited space given to the project. The dense white concrete surface determines the final appearance of the building with the enhanced architectural aesthetics. UHPC lamels are durable, lighter weight, high strength and can withdraw any harsh environment.
