Newbuild for the Koning Willem I College in 's-Hertogenbosch (NL)
Bielefeld. In the Dutch city of 's-Hertogenbosch, Utrecht-based architectural practice Nieuwe Architecten created a striking newbuild for the Koning Willem I College. The compact five-storey design demonstrates impressive flexibility and sustainably implemented circularity. The transparent mullion/transom façade constructed using the Schüco FWS 50 (Façade Window System) system is a particularly stunning feature of the building, permitting free views of the imposing timber load-bearing structure. The external Schüco CSB (Concealed Shaped Blind) sun shading, which is integrated into the façade system, blends in seamlessly with the architectural concept and enables the heat gain to be significantly reduced.

A key benefit of the Schüco CSB sun shading system is its complete shading from direct sunlight when the angle of the sun is greater than 21 degrees.

Impressive sun shading: the stable, extruded, horizontal louvre blades made from aluminium withstand extremely high wind loads. They retract automatically when the wind speed reaches 25 metres per second.

Sustainable: the Koning Willem I College was built in line with the principles of circular construction using as many recyclable materials as possible – and has been honoured with the Dutch National Award for Timber Construction (Nationale Houtbouwprijs) as a result.
