Gateway to the water: the Dutch town of Sneek is shaped by water. Its landmark is the medieval water gate, which closed the waterway into the city during attacks; the old town can still be circumnavigated by water on the Stadtgracht and Sneek is a Mecca for wakeboarders.
The residential building, situated on a corner plot directly on the Zwette, is also a gateway to the water: its living areas face the canal. Lift-and-slide doors of GEALAN system S 9000 were installed on the ground floor, while floor floor-to-ceiling GEALAN-KUBUS® windows adorned the first floor – a successful combination.
The window profiles – like all GEALAN-KUBUS® profiles with the surface technology GEALAN-acrylcolor® – are as deep black as the water of the Zwette at night. The brick façade of the house quotes traditional Frisian architecture; the partly slightly overhanging brick long format gives it a modern twist.

Westspitze Residential and Commercial Building / Germany
Living in a prime location: the “Westspitze” residential and commercial building in Tübingen is located directly on the blue bridge that connects Tübingen’s Südstadt with the city centre and the historic city centre. On the trapezoidal plot, a former freight station site, a complex has been created that cleverly combines living, working and shopping and stands for a sustainable neighbourhood concept with short distances.
Residential Complex Plauen / Germany
Company beats solitude: this is the idea behind this residential complex in Plauen. 23 modern apartments were built on a park-like plot in Plauen’s Westend district. With 70 to 150 square metres, they are generously proportioned, have south-facing balconies and are architecturally sophisticated in every detail – plus the GEALAN system S 9000 windows in GEALAN-acrylcolor® silver match.
