Edeka Store Steinbruck
Gaimersheim

About the project

The new EDEKA Markt Steinbruck building in Gaimersheim is particularly emphasized by the 3D design metal panels “Zig-Zag”.

The curtain wall is a striking design element that blends harmoniously into the surrounding landscape in the material combination with concrete.
The slate-grey color clearly reflects the identity of Edeka. With its dark façade, the building follows the current trend and has a contemporary appeal.

The geometric serrations are eye-catching. One outstanding feature is the subtle diagonal in each panel. Different arrangements and rotations of the panels create a dynamic pattern on a large scale that runs across the entire façade and can be associated with an abstract mountain landscape, for example. The dynamic freshness of the façade evokes a feeling of new beginnings and new beginnings. The 3D effect creates a moving atmosphere, entirely in keeping with the brand.

The rear-ventilated curtain wall is not only an aesthetic highlight, but also a functional solution for modern buildings. The design promotes air circulation, which helps to make buildings more energy efficient. At the same time, it protects the masonry from weather influences such as rain or snow.
