The striking horizontally and vertically structured Helvetia Tower in the Vierfeld quarter of the Pratteln district meets the highest design standards. Great importance was also placed on high-grade and sustainable materials during its construction. The shading concept has already been developed in the planning phase and is optimally aligned with the users' requirements. The solution – consisting of external window awnings with ZIP guidance in conjunction with automatic control using LonWorks® technology – could thus be perfectly integrated into the impressive 75 metre high building. The users and residents of the tower benefit from a magnificent distant view and plenty of daylight thanks to full-surface glazing - without the indoor areas overheating.
