71 X Nemetschek Structural User Contest 2013 - Category 1: Buildings Category 1: Buildings 1 Short description │“Small is beautiful too” The Belgian company “Steel”, specialised in energy management, has just moved into its new 1,500 m² office building completed by Astron Builder Wust SA. The choice of steel was naturally driven by the company’s name, “Steel”, but it was also chosen because the material fully meets the architect’s requirements: great architectural freedom ensured by a light steel structure as well as transparent materials. The customer wanted a low-energy building in order to comply with ISO 14001 Environmental Management, a real challenge when taking into account the choice of exterior columns with architectural sandwich panels fixed from inside. To meet this challenge, the Astron engineering office has implemented an innovative solution with “Schöck” elements to avoid the thermal bridges on the main profiles. This was completed by rectangular tubular purlins filled with insulation. Clear lines, a curved roof and generous use of glass create a pleasant atmosphere.
