ZNA Park Spoor Nord, Antwerpia, Belgia

A gigantic hospital facility with 340 beds on 19 floors, located near the port in the northern district of the city, included in the complex of the so-called “hospital boulevard”, gathering many medical services, but also residential towers, commercial and catering facilities.
The building is implemented in a very interesting technology of reinforced concrete prefabricated elements, in which ready-made windows are inserted already on the factory premises. What’s more, these windows are not single-plane, but spatial on the “Z” plan, and are installed in prefabricated elements “ready-made”, along with glazing with structural corners, all flashings and membranes. Then, prefabricated elements weighing up to 18 tons are transported to the construction site and hung on the structure of the facility like a historical “age slab”, although with completely contemporary, fantastic accuracy and precision of LEGO brick assembly. In the second stage, already at the construction site, glyphs and window sills will be installed around the windows, and then the reinforced concrete surface will be insulated and covered with glass mosaic.

• 920 pieces of spatial “broken” windows with an area of approx. 6 m2 / pcs.
• finishing of aluminum surfaces in the highest capillary corrosion resistance class – pre-anode + QUALIMARINE powder coating
• all-glass structurally glued corners
• unusual sequence of assembling windows to reinforced concrete elements in a prefabrication plant
