IMPRESSIVE FAÇADE
DESIGN MADE POSSIBLE
BY REYNAERS
Reynaers, the leading supplier of sustainable aluminium glass and
glazing systems, has showcased the versatility of its unique range
of products once again. Specified as part of the Now Bomonti
project in Istanbul, the exterior of the building is nearly entirely
made of glazing, an impressive feature made possible by Reynaers
Aluminium curtain wall systems.
The 30-floor building comprises of a mix of office and
residential space, designed by leading Turkish architecture office
Tabanlıoğlu Architects as part of the regeneration of the Bomonti
neighbourhood. Each section of the building was created with a
specific purpose in mind and the finished architecture features
similar components stacked on top of each other. For example,
while the lower floors were designed as office space and include
a higher ceiling to fit within the surrounding topography, the
upper floors serve as residential space and are positioned to take
advantage of the views of the city.
One of the main priorities when designing the building was to
maximise daylight and access to the panoramic views. The form
and concept of Now Bomonti presented a unique challenge to
achieving that goal, which was addressed by using Reynaers’ curtain
walling range. The building was encased in an expansive glazing
system and custom fritted panels were fitted to complement the
construction.
The façade was made possible by a range of Reynaers solutions,
including the CW 60 curtain wall for top-of-the-line thermal
performance, the CP 155-LS sliding system to guarantee maximum
glass area and comfort, the Hi-Finity sliding system that seamlessly
extends the building’s interior to the outside, as well as the CS 77
door to meet the highest standards of thermal insulation, stability
and security.
