Werkstätte Liechtblick – architecturally a Bright Spot as well For the Ebnat-area of Schaffhausen, the buildingof Liechtblick, which is distictivly located became a prelude of contemporary architecture - this concept points towards the future! The parapets made of Alucobond-tray panels represent the identity of this company. The nature-like changing colour gradients with iridescent highlights provide a subtle and elegant impression. The Manufacturer and mounting crews have accomplished masterpieces of precision by fulfilling the extraordinary demands of pre- fabrication and assembly! The elegant bands of windows but as well the surface of the opaque and visually stabilizing structure underline the overall impression by elegantly let precedence for the parapets. Werkstätte Liechtblick is not simply a curtain-wall company. They combine two main competences: offering a workplace to people coming from a variety of social backgrounds, and realizing as well as fabricating high- end technical aluminum-components. Their products find use in first choice architecture worldwide. The new façade had to reflect the technical skills of the Liechtblick company. In addition, both overall picture as well as the details will give the claim of "watchmaker precision»; but the original appearance had to be respected, while transporting it uncompromisingly into the 21st century. The result is not only an improvement – but implemented innovation!
