Fasade for Artery-prosjektet

KGC Group is the facades contractor for the Artery project in Vilnius, Lithuania. This high-profile commercial building, designed by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind of Studio Libeskind, symbolizes the future of Vilnius' architecture. The 20-floor building includes a 35-meter-high public atrium and features panoramic windows for natural light and 360-degree city views. It aims to achieve the 'BREEAM New Construction - Excellent' certificate.

Fasadedesign og installasjon

KGC Group's scope of work includes the design, production, project management, transportation, and installation of 15,771 m² of unitised structural glazing curtain walls with shadow box zones, 4,016 m² of stick curtain walls, and 73 doors. The installation process is particularly challenging due to the size and weight of the elements, with the largest corner mirrors weighing around 2 tonnes and reaching 7 meters high. The project features a glass facade with 20 mm silicone gaskets, eliminating visible aluminum on the exterior.

Unikt enhetsfasadesystem

This is KGC Group’s first project employing their bespoke unitised façade system, marking it as one of the most significant projects in Lithuania. Developed in collaboration with KGC Switzerland's experienced design team, the system is unique and tailored specifically to meet the Artery project's demands. This innovative system has been rigorously tested for water and air permeability at an IFT Rosenheim-accredited center in Germany, surpassing the required standards and showcasing exceptional performance under high wind pressures.
