Voestalpine Signaling

Industrial architecture rarely brings to mind the finesse of interior detail. The Voestalpine Signaling office and production building in Trąbki Wielkie breaks that mould.

Inside, perforated cassettes made of RHEINZINK-prePATINA blaugrau sheet metal form the cladding of the elevator shaft. This modular, perforated element brings lightness and a technological character to the circulation zone. Outside, the same titanium zinc, in a standing seam system, organises the building's form and sets the rhythm of both the facade and the roof.

In a building like Voestalpine Signaling, where technology and durability are written into the company's DNA, choosing a material with a lifespan exceeding 100 years is simply the logical choice. It is an investment that takes the issue of maintenance, repainting, and costly renovations completely off the owner's plate.

One material connects two worlds, production and a representative training centre, into a coherent statement about brand quality. If architecture is to defend a brand, it must do so consistently.
