Cronhammer parking garage

Architect: Årstiderne Arkitekter / Sweco

Facade system: Woodfac Click

Despite its size, the large, beautiful parking garage in Vejle is a feast for the eyes and an architectural gem within parking garages.

The striking feature of this building - in addition to its size - is the use of wooden lamellae as the load-bearing facade element.

We manufacture and supply facade solutions for many parking garages, but most often aluminium is chosen as the primary material or a combination of both.

But here, the architectural expression is created with our Woodfac Click solution, where 140x42mm lamellae with a c.t.c spacing of 300mm are installed, in combination with Corten plates.

The exciting and special thing is not specifically the choice of wood, but it is the fact that it is climate-friendly, fire-resistant and dimensionally stable, making it perfect for a building like this. 

The staggered lamellae are mounted at a 30° angle in combination with straight lamellae. This gives a nice architectural play and with the choice of wood, it matches its surroundings beautifully.

Cronhammer emphasises the possibility of design freedom and the ability to get exactly the facade you want. When we emphasize design freedom, it is because it is the hallmark of all our solutions and products. We do not stock standard solutions and ready-made fabrics, but we customise each and every facade to the desired architectural requirements.
