Project details

Frankfurt am Main is one of the most important international financial centres and also an important hub thanks to Frankfurt Airport. The AirPark office building is a new and important addition to Gateway Gardens at Frankfurt Airport, which will promote further development in one of the most exciting and largest business districts in all of Europe at the present time. Covering approx. 11,000 m2 and surrounding a green courtyard that can be accessed by visitors, modern office spaces have been created that meet the various requirements for work areas, as well as prestigious conference facilities and recreational areas. The contemporary façade design also reflects the dynamism of developments within the district. Large floor-to-ceiling windows (FWS 50.SI, AWS 50 till 75.SI) ensure transparency and flood the inside areas with daylight. The building is broken up by horizontal bands of varying heights made from light and dark natural stone.

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.

Wide variety of window solutions for international markets

The thermally insulated standard window system for the 50 mm basic depth offers extensive solutions from a single source to suit a range of requirements.

It is based on the functional and design properties of the aluminium system: benefits such as narrow face widths and concealed fittings are combined in perfectly integrated components for inward and outward-opening windows.

The high level of flexibility of the system enables a variety of uses as a punched opening, ribbon window or façade insert unit, as well as in combination with Schüco door systems.

Improved thermal insulation, security and fabrication

The optimised Schüco AWS 75.SI+ (Super Insulation) standard window system for the 75 mm basic depth is part of the Schüco AWS system platform and forms the basis for a range of applications in energy-efficient building envelopes. Depending on the architectural requirements, the highly thermally insulated aluminium system can be used as a punched opening, ribbon window, façade insert unit or in combination with Schüco door systems.

An additional benefit for architects and specifiers is the wide range of opening types such as tilt/slide vents, bottom-hung toplights or horizontal and vertical pivot vents.
