AVALON
Reynaers Aluminiums Virtual Reality Room, AVALON, installed in the Reynaers Campus in Duffel, offers the ability to visit a building through a shared virtual reality experience while the design is still in process.
On a daily basis, building teams visit AVALON for different reasons, architects who invite general contractors to discuss technical details or who visit with investors to present the design and take the investor through their future home. This way clients are already involved in an early stage of the design process. They can enter through the front door of their future home, visit the lounge room where they will soon relax and experience the outdoor view from their terrace. All of this in a phase of the design where the architect can still make adaptations according to the preferences of the investor.

A3 Apartments
The combination of two powerful context components, being the surrounding architecture and mountain views, results in the dynamic and modern shape of this outstanding project, without harming its function. A3 Apartments is organised into five distinct volumes, positioned together as an ensemble to determine the overall final shape. Each of the volumes is outlined with soft and elegant forms, allowing your imagination to run free.
For the architect, using high quality materials was very important. Having this in mind, he chose Reynaers Aluminium CW 50 curtain walls and CS 77 windows for the remarkable façade of the project.

Hi-Finity Apartment Nice
The recent renovation of this Nice apartment showcases today’s latest modern solutions. In order to take advantage of the expansive outdoor terraces and breathtaking sea views a 490 cm wide window from Reynaers Aluminium was specified for the living room/terrace area. Because of its hidden frame and lack of opening apparatus, the system appears in some senses virtually invisible. Thanks to the Reynaers Aluminium Hi-Finity system, the border between indoors and outdoors is only apparent in the case of bad weather, when the glass walls are closed.

National Centre of Physical and Technological Sciences
The hexacon shaped façade of the National Centre of Physical and Technological Sciences (NCPTS), at the University of Vilnius inspired was inspired by the chemical structure commonly found in science. The building stands out and breaks away from the existing grey architecture that surrounds it. A custom made Reynaers Aluminium CW 50-HI solution was created to connect the building’s interior and exterior environments.
