Folded glass and metal façade that creates a play of light and shadow
Project
The Dynafit Speed Factory in Kiefersfelden, located at the entrance to the Alps, blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The 29 meter high building, which consists of two intersecting, prismatic volumes, reflects the alpine mountains and valleys with its geometry. It houses offices, laboratories, living spaces, a kindergarten and a flagship store. The inclined glass façades offer impressive views and let light into the interior. The façades developed by knippershelbig are based on a small-scale, faceted geometry that reflects the surrounding mountain landscape through light and shadow effects. The constructions made of steel profiles, glazing and aluminum sheets reinforce this effect and give the building a lively, dynamic appearance.

A key challenge was translating the complex geometry into a construction system
Facade Construction
A fundamental approach was to combine the architectural concept with an efficient shading system
Shading Concept
The folded façade geometry creates structural height and thus increased performance
