Dri-Design shopping center

The business center Kale is a great example of how the use of Dri-Design cassettes can enhance the appearance and functionality of a building's façade. As a 3D façade system that can be installed directly onto sandwich panels, Dri-Design offers a range of benefits for architects and building owners.

One of the major benefits of Dri-Design is its ease of installation. Because it can be installed directly onto sandwich panels, it eliminates the need for additional framing or support structures. This not only saves time and labor costs, but it also allows for a cleaner, more streamlined installation process.

In addition to its ease of installation, Dri-Design also offers a range of design options. The cassettes are available in four styles: Flat, Shadow, Tapered, and Perforated, and can be arranged in various ways to create a unique, customizable façade for the building. This gives architects the freedom to experiment with different design options and create a truly distinctive look for their projects.

The business center Kale made excellent use of the Dri-Design system in its façade, using smooth black metal cassettes from the Paroc Panel System and Dri-Design Flat brand. These cassettes were used to create a sleek and sophisticated appearance for the entrance of the building, enhancing its overall visual appeal.

Overall, the use of Dri-Design cassettes in the façade of the business center Kale demonstrates the versatility and functionality of this system. Its ease of installation and range of design options make it an excellent choice for architects and building owners looking to create a unique and visually striking façade for their projects.
