Libreville, Gabon The Onomo 3 star hotel in Libreville was designed by Ivorian architects Guillaume Koffi and Issa Diabaté. It is built around two large patios which act as the "lungs of the project", to borrow the words of Guillaume Koffi. "These internal gardens can be seen from each area of the hotel: common areas such as the lobby, lounge, restaurant and meeting rooms, as well as from the privacy of one's room. Around these gardens are built the 118 rooms of the hotel, spread across two levels. Each room features a terrace/balcony. " Objectif Alu, a key partner of Koffi & Diabaté Architectes for the supply and installation of aluminium materials, manufactured and fitted more than 120 TOPAZE sliding systems, a dozen fixed + opening-sash + door glazing units and 4 GEODE curtain walls. "We appreciate these products for their design and how much natural light they let in. Both of these factors meet our requirements in terms of aesthetic quality and managing energy consumptions for lighting", Guillaume Koffi said.

Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe The extension to Pointe-à-Pitre international airport in Guadeloupe was created to receive regional air traffic and facilitate inter-Caribbean journeys as well as those between France and the Antilles. The terminal serves 7 regional planes and 2 medium-haul services. It consists of a departure hall shaped like a circle and a check-in building, both of which are connected to the international zone by two separate covered passageways, one for departures, one for arrivals. "The taxiways and aprons were created a year before the extension project, so we organised the buildings accordingly, hence the circular shape of the building." Architect, Jean-Max Périchon, explained. Another constraint, which was just as important, was managing the movement of passengers. For this, we had to take into account incoming and outgoing customs requirements for three zones; regional, international and the Schengen area!" Contracting authority: Pointe-à-Pitre Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Guadeloupe) Find out more about GEODE |
... GREEN Vietnam Last summer, Remi Rezeck El-Zouki, Sales manager at Sapa Building Systems South East Asia, and Ms Trang Bui Huyen, Pre-sales representative in Vietnam, held two seminars on energy savings and sustainable development in the building envelope. TECHNAL is very sensitive to these issues and is constantly innovating to provide the markets with architectural solutions that limit energy consumption in buildings and improve accessibility and user comfort. More than 40 architects, consultants, developers, etc... gathered in both Hanoi and Da Nang to learn about TECHNAL's products and to reflect upon the different methods of sustainable construction, and in particular the issue of additional investment expenses, which pay off in the long term thanks to energy savings. The participants also learned about the companies that work with TECHNAL. This was a chance for Remi Rezeck El-Zouki to inform people that these companies benefit from TECHNAL expertise in correctly implementing the products prescribed by the brand. |
