Lots of light, air and great architecture

GIG developed custom-made glass louvre facades and glass roofs for the platform canopies at the new Central Railway Station in Vienna.

The louvre facades embedded in the facade surfaces between the train platform canopies are motorised and can be used for natural ventilation and besides the daily ventilation they provide a quick heat extraction in case of fire.

In total GIG built approximately 1,300 m² glass roofs and approx. 900 m² glass louvre facades for the new transportation hub.
