SIMMEL Centre at the main railway station

Versatile building complex in the centre of Dresden

The former brownfield site near the main railway station and Wiener Platz has given way to a spacious, multi-level new building with a diverse mix of sectors. The approximately 50,000 square metre site offers a mix of offices, the city’s largest hotel and a large, contemporary SIMMEL food market with a large parking garage.

Colour change reflects branch mix
The new multi-storey building designed by Munich architects Knerer und Lang impresses with its straight lines, which are accentuated by the iridescent colours of the aluminium facade. The Alucobond aluminium panels, some of which are perforated, cover the 9,000 square metre facade and make it shimmer in rainbow colours depending on the incidence of light. An impression that can be gained both from the street and from the train.

Simple and securely fixed
The elegant facade with visible riveted aluminium panels was realised on the basis of the ALWI-S profile system, which was mounted with aluminium and stainless steel wall brackets to achieve the required U-value of 0.23W/sqmK. Reinforced concrete and partial metal stud walls in the area of the perforated facades were used as the classic substrate. The perforated facades can be found in the area of the car park decks and fulfil the function of garage ventilation. In the area of the roof terraces, external facades and suspended ceilings, the closed facade panels were also extensively pre-dimensioned and installed on ALWI-S.

It is one of several buildings realised by investor and food retailer Peter Simmel. It is undisputed that the centre enriches the city centre and the nearby main railway station both visually and commercially. Especially in a place where arriving travellers encounter a city for the first time, the visual appearance is an important feel-good factor in addition to functionality.
