Playing with panels

Light-coloured panel cladding was our starting point when the architects planned the surfaces of the buildings. When we started to focus on the quality of the panels and detailing options, the choice fell naturally to STENI.

“In addition, the municipality wanted a low-maintenance building,” says Sigurdsson, Project Manager and Architect at Nordic Office of Architecture. So naturally, the surfaces of the buildings are dominated by high-gloss STENI Colour panels, in combination with wooden cladding. Some of the panel plates are also perforated, which creates an exciting effect.

Thomas Bjørvik, the school’s head teacher, feels that STENI’s façade panels have created a very pleasing aesthetic expression. “The building looks beautiful,” he says.

The white panels have gotten some football marks – which is entirely normal in such a playful environment. “But they are apparently easy to rinse off,” he says with a smile.
