Information

The shopping mall “Victoria Gate” in Leeds received a spectacular free-form roof, a Skylight and an entrance façade made by seele. The 2,100sqm atrium roof consists of laminated safety glass and welded rectangu-lar hollow sections (approx. 194t). A 150sqm Skylight, situated at the top of the funnel-shaped lightwell, is a 16-sided glass cylinder 1.3m high and about 11m in diameter. The cladding is made from 2-ply laminated safety glass. The scope of work also included a 900sqm grid roof with funnel-shaped lightwell and three en-trance facades approx. 550sqm. © photos seele/Andreas Keller
seeleIn 1984, the façade construction specialist seele, based in Gersthofen, was founded by master glazier Gerhard Seele and steel construction designer Siegfried Gossner. Through the worldwide realization of technical façade constructions and sophisticated building envelopes, the company grew steadily. Today, around 1,000 employees work for the entire group worldwide. Because it is the only owner-managed company with global operations in this industry seele is unique. Architectural, engineering and economic demands on a building envelope are increasingly merging to form a complex conglomerate. seele brings together the knowledge needed for this and is able to design and construct corresponding structures in unprecedented quality. A profound understanding of materials results in unique solutions using glass, steel, aluminium, membranes and other high-tech materials.
