It also has extensive meeting facilities, with over 450 m² of flexible meeting room space. The client was looking for both a fast completion and a cost-efficient construction of a reliable, attractive and flexible building. They chose the Astron Multi-Storey Building system, along with the Monodek mezzanine system. The customer wanted to preserve the concrete sub-structure, while on the other hand increase the floor space of the rooms on the different levels. The curtain wall is suspended from the mezzanine and coated with wood and glass elements. The Italian Astron builder Teorema was responsible for the construction of the steel structure of this 2,700 m2 six-floor hotel. A free span of 12.5 metres between the external column supports significantly reduced the number of foundations required and provided maximum flexibility for the inside layout. The Astron Multi-Storey engineering department quickly established the best solution, taking into account the seismic loads of this area (Zone 4). In January 2007, only 12 weeks after work started on site, the structure was erected. The CAE Housing & Buildings 2 ASTRON BUILDINGS S.A.
