Ceramic façade with distinguished restraint and discreet presence

Ceramic façade cladding for new buildings in an urban environment requires particular sensitivity: on the one hand, the façade design should integrate harmoniously into the existing surroundings, and on the other hand, the "new addition" should not sink into anonymity. The fact that this high demand can be met is proven by the experience gained in the meantime with the Postplatz retirement community in Wetzikon-Kempten, which does not impose itself superficially, but nevertheless radiates a discreet presence and conveys value.

Just like a large part of the façade tiles made of ceramics by AGROB BUCHTAL, the façade cladding used in this project is already provided ex works with the refinement HT (Hydrophilic Tiles). This innovative solution is based on the effect of light and provides revolutionary properties. Tiles with this finish create a self-washing effect when sprinkled, have an antibacterial effect without chemicals and thus prevent the formation of algae or moss on facades. In addition, HT reduces air pollutants such as industrial and car exhaust fumes. HT therefore saves time and money, protects the environment and ensures a lasting and attractive appearance.

The ceramic façade of the Postplatz retirement community is a successful example of contemporary urban architecture. The result is a building envelope that impresses with its high functionality and aesthetics, yet still has that certain something and, far from being fashionably short-lived, should still be convincing in years to come.
