Soltec Successfully Completes Dynamic Facade Project for Gotthardská Residence

Soltec has successfully completed the dynamic facade project for the prestigious Gotthardská Residence in Prague. As part of the project, we carried out full product documentation, created a prototype, and produced 52 advanced systems. Our panels, requiring minimal installation space, can span glass surfaces up to 10 meters in length and 3.5 meters in height, making them ideal for protecting large panoramic windows. The project, which has been nominated for the Czech National Architecture Award, proudly showcases the collaboration between Soltec and top architects in creating modern and energy-efficient living solutions.

A dynamic façade for the challenges of the seaside environment – a well-thought-out solution for the Blu Mare Hotelitev za hotel Blu Mare

At Soltec, we are proud of the Blu Mare’s dynamic façade. Our BM sliding panels are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also offer a range of functional benefits:

 

Comfort: sunlight regulation allows pleasant living all year round. The panels protect against wind, noise and allow privacy.
Functionality: the panels are resistant to strong winds (up to 160 km/h) and are easy to operate manually.
Aesthetics: the modern design fits in with the architecture of the old town and is reminiscent of traditional Istrian shutters.
Collaboration with the architects Randić i suradnici /Atelier West has allowed us to create an innovative solution that offers a solution to the challenges of modern construction in a seaside environment, while creating a unique and comfortable living experience.

 

The Blu Mare project is another example of how Soltec creates unique spaces for its clients that combine beauty, comfort and sustainability.

Šumi

Šumi Project Overview

Legacy

In 1876, Josipina Schumi set out on a sweet endeavor, crafting artisan confections in a modest workshop. After the ravages of World War I, her legacy was carried on by Mr. Dragutin Hribar, who breathed new life into the factory, earning it a reputation as one of the finest sweet makers in the land.

After the turbulent World War II, a new chapter began for this building. Out of the ruins, the famous Šumi Pub was born. The pub became a haven for free-spirited artists and intellectuals, a place where creative souls could meet, share ideas, and bask in each other’s company. It was frequented by some of the most distinguished musicians, journalists, and theater actors in all of Slovenia.

The Challenges of the Architecture

Today, the Šumi Centre stands as a testament to this rich heritage, an invitation to become a part of its next chapter where the sweet aroma of the past mingles with the creative energy of the present.

The first plans for this new building were drawn up as early as 1996 by the famous architect Boris Podrecca. It features large windows strewn among concrete facade elements. Not to interfere with the overall look of the entire building, very subtle shading for the windows needed to be installed.

The Soltec Solution

To provide thermal and living comfort, we have chosen subtle roller blinds with a minimalist aesthetics. The essential component of the roller blinds is a thermal fiberglass fabric, which provides over 90% protection against overheating while still remaining transparent and not blocking the view of the surroundings.

For this purpose we have developed 2 types of roller blinds:

Roller blinds on the exterior facades are technically demanding because they are integrated between the concrete wall of the building and the prefabricated concrete facade elements. Due to different distances between the walls and the facade panels, we had to custom-make all masks for each window. These roller blinds are made in ZIP technology, which indicates that there is a zipper welded onto the fabric, which slides in a special guide and keeps the fabric taut.

Roller blinds on atrium facades are minimalist and guided by stainless steel braids, attached directly to the aluminum facade and used for vertical balcony shading.

Soltec large size lifting panels

Soltec Lifting Dynamic facades solutions ensure hight living confort and security for your client. Based on the architect’s requirements Sotlec developed, produced and installed LARGE SIZE LIFTING PANELS – custom project for BNP Bank in Paris. Click here to see the project BNP Bank Paris – Lifting panels by Soltec.
To meet the architect’s idea, we developed large-size lifting panels, on which is installed a glass façade system. The maximum dimension of the panels is 5000 x 4000 mm. The panels are made in 2 versions – vertical and inclined, at an angle of 30%. The whole system of lifting panels is electronically controlled and can also be connected to the building’s smart installations.
