Object description

The region around Ålesund is one of the most popular tourist hot-spots in Norway. In addition to the renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site in Geirangerfjord and the snow-covered peaks of the Hjørundfjord, the ragged mountains of the Sunnmøre Alps projecting almost 2000 metres over the fjords also attract many visitors. In the midst of this landscape sits the Black Lodge holiday home, like a foundling in nature. The amorphous shape of the interweaving surfaces is accentuated by the unusual material of the façade in combination with the timber shell of the interior. Large-scale glazing with slimline profiles allow generous views and blur the spatial boundaries.

Product information

FWS 50.SI

Passive house-certified mullion/transom façade for a variety of solutions

Based on pioneering isolator technology, the Schüco FWS 50.SI (Super Insulated) façade system offers highly thermally insulated solutions for designing diverse façades and skylights to passive house level, including optimised fabrication and installation processes.

With its high flexibility and broad system range, the system ensures mullion/transom constructions for the most varied functional and design requirements in high-end residential and commercial projects.

A transparent system solution integrated in the profile for spandrel safety barriers blends in seamlessly and elegantly into the external façade appearance.

Thermally insulated bi-fold system with large selection of types, quiet running and outstanding weathertightness

The thermally insulated Schüco ASS 70 FD (Folding Door) bi-fold system impresses with narrow face widths and offers a wide range of types with outstanding weathertightness for use in outdoor areas.

The visually appealing system opens up a variety of design options thanks to attractive opening types, such as the 90° corner including a flat, thermally insulated threshold for barrier-free access.

The magnetic retaining catch with an elegant design and matching flat door handle is available as an additional design option.
