Chamber of Commerce and Industry

The main office of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Munich and Upper Bavaria is an important urban reference point. It consists of two listed buildings surrounding a covered inner courtyard. Over the years, both buildings have been subject to multiple alterations and adapted to meet the requirements at the time. In addition to strengthening the fabric of the building, the aim of the renovation was to restore the prestigious look of the listed ensemble. The architects’ design involved a reorganisation of the functional areas. As a result, two busy public areas were created that were intended to be as transparent as possible, as well as a compact core, which combines the main offices and vertical access through the building. The ground floor is where the public areas, such as the consultation zones and the Börsencafé, are located. The functions are separated via steel/glass partition walls with doors of the same material. The atrium on the ground floor and the exclusive rooms on the first and second floors serve as conference spaces. The rest of the space on the upper floors is used as office and meeting areas. The old façades were carefully restored. The existing window and door units that were retained were updated and supplemented in places; all the other opening units were constructed to replicate the original style.

Product information

Janisol Primo

Highly thermally insulated steel windows with slimline face widths

Excellent thermal insulation combined with attractive design: with Janisol Primo windows from Schüco, cold can be reliably kept outside, even during extreme temperatures – with attractive architectural design freedom for a modern, sustainable building.

Based on narrow, highly-stable steel profiles, the system allows slimline constructions in a light appearance and with a high level of functionality, security, comfort and design.

Arched, segmented and studio windows as well as special geometries thanks to laser-welded personal profiles are all possible.

Modular mullion/transom façade system made from steel with a wide range of design options

Be it a newbuild, conversion or renovation, the modular VISS steel system for thermally insulated mullion/transom constructions stands out as the optimum components from a technical and economical perspective can be selected for each project from the modular system, irrespective of the size.

With narrow profile face widths and different basic depths, the room-side load-bearing structure of the façade units can be designed in a variety of ways and with good light penetration.

All-round fire protection system with multiple applications

As an all-round fire protection system for door and fixed glazing constructions, Janisol 2 EI30 (T30/F30) combines the highest in building safety standards with optimal design freedom.

The narrow and highly stable steep profiles of the system enable solutions for special applications which meet all the requirements of demanding architecture, such as stainless steel, butt joint glazing, anti-finger-trap doors and clad doors with transparent toplights and sidelights.
