Residential building on a slope (Passail, Austria, 2007)

  • Type of project:
  • Integration type:
The parapet of the runaround terrace of this residential building not only acts as a barrier, it is also used to generate electricity. The modules were mounted using stainless-steel point holders recessed into the back of the glass. The holders are invisible from the front. The junction boxes and wiring are located in the ceilings and are also invisible. White enamel layers were applied to the outside glass panes of the modules here, in front of the face side. Hence, the terrace deck corresponds visually to the roof area and creates a continuous white strip (BAUNETZ ONLINE-DIENST, ERTEX-SOLAR).
