A gentle connection

Dating from 1904 and a listed building, the Beethovenstrasse school complex in Hanover’s Linden district is typical of the local architecture of the period, with its red clinker bricks and decorated gables.

To meet the fire protection and equal access disability requirements of a contemporary school, the building needed to be fitted with an emergency staircase and a lift.

From the outset, the dRei Architekten BDA consultancy, based in Hanover, planned to include these elements in a “connecting shell” that would form a modern, balanced counterpart to the existing building.
To give shape to this curved volume, the architects chose a 1.0 mm thick PIGMENTO zinc skin, whose red colour, pre-weathered surface finish and 50% perforation pattern provide a modern echo to the existing clinker brick, facilitating dialogue with the old building.

Its transparency also makes it possible to view the façade differently by day or when lit from the inside.

Veiled by this perforated skin, the lift shaft was clad in the same PIGMENTO red installed using the standing seam technique.
