KÖMMERLING Chemische Fabrik Gmbh

In Seattle’s South Lake Union neighbourhood, one office building follows the next. But these aren’t just any offices. This is where the headquarters of online giant Amazon are located. Between modern cafés and restaurants, 40 office buildings rise from the ground. In 2021, the company expanded its headquarters and built more modern glass buildings as part of the “Rufus 2.0” project – including Block 18. This office building was designed in the image of an urban tree house. A wooden staircase winds through the centre of the building, immediately catching the eye from the outside thanks to the glass façade. These glass elements were brought to life using the Ködispace 4SG warm-edge system from H.B. Fuller | KÖMMERLING to meet the high specifications in terms of excellent energy efficiency, durability and ultra-modern design.

Large-scale structural glazing façades not only distinguish commercial buildings but are also used increasingly for residential properties. Glass residential architecture is extremely popular in major US cities. A special project has now been completed in the New York borough of Manhattan. In Hudson Square, a glass tower directly on top of a historic building has created a new and very distinctive living space. In the insulating glass, the highly efficient Warm Edge system from manufacturer H.B. Fuller | KÖMMERLING ensures low energy costs and a comfortable living environment.

In Canada’s megacity of Toronto, one of the most fascinating and largest construction projects is currently in progress. The new, sustainably planned CIBC Square with its two soaring glass towers will be shaping the skyline of the Canadian business centre and contributing to positive urban development for decades to come. The energy-efficient Warm Edge system from adhesive and sealant manufacturer H.B. Fuller | KÖMMERLING was used in the construction of the distinctive glass diamond shapes in the façades.
