Year: 2014 Jellicoe Johannesburg/South Africa Ventilated Facades Bianco Lucidato Collection 1000x3000 The Jellicoe Building project, by Paragon Architects, is a building that occupies a total area of 10,000 m² and is home to prestigious commercial spaces in the Rosebank area of Johannesburg. The shell is characterized by large glass surfaces, which shift the focus from the main facade to bring to the foreground a large wing entirely covered with Laminam slabs. Owing to the complex weather, conditioned by the height of the plateau on which Johannesburg stands (1750 meters), combined with the subtropical climate with temperatures ranging between an average of 25 degrees in summer and a winter minimum of 4 degrees, mitigation of the radiation and thermal loads of the facade is a strategic element in ensuring comfort and energy efficiency. Hence, beside the high performance glazing and curtain wall systems, the white colour of the Laminam facade, as well as the generous and widespread passive solar screening systems arranged on the building, assume a role that goes beyond the architectural solution, finding full functional consistency. Also very interesting in terms of composition is the covering system, consisting of white coloured slabs of the Collection series with polished finish, laid horizontally. Complete control of modular coordination has made it possible to integrate the height of the ribbon windows with that of the ceramic slabs, resulting in a very formal and executive clean assembly. www.laminam.it Laminam S.p.A Società sottoposta all’attività di direzione e coordinamento ai sensi dell’art. 2497 e seguenti C.C., della società iscritta al registro delle imprese di Modena al n. 02438830362 Sede Legale e Operativa: Via Ghiarola Nuova 258 - 41042 Fiorano Modenese (Mo) Italy T. +39 0536 1844200 F. +39 0536 1844201 cap. soc. € 7.200.000 R.E.A. 332793 C.
