Munich Office Refurbishment Project Report

Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft AG bought Siemens-Nixdorfs former computer centre in Munich, a well preserved yet dated 1980s building. The planning team at Berlin architects Sauerbruch Hutton, won an architecture competition to redevelop the site. A vital factor in realising this ambitious design concept for the glass façade was the specification of Lithodecors Airtec Glass ventilated rainscreen cladding system by the architect. The Airtec Glass system is an extremely impact-resistant composite panel consisting of toughened safety glass (ESG) bonded to a special lightweight concrete carrier. The panels can be up to 4.7m2 in size and are fixed in position using special concealed clips that allow each one to be accurately adjusted both horizontally and vertically
