Archello organizes an open competition for students and designers to design Euramax’ factory wall using the new Aludesign technology.

Euramax invites architects and designers to fully transform our 200 square meter factory wall front in the Netherlands using our brand new facade technology Aludesign. The winning design will be installed using Aluminium Composite Panels. This will result in a flat, high gloss surface that covers the street side of the factory wall.

“This is a one of a kind project with full freedom of design, using our new digital coating technology.” says Paul van der Vijgh, Marketing Director, Euramax Coated Products. “It allows the architect to create a facade of any image or illustration they wish. We hope our factory wall will be an innovative, head turning benchmark for architects and customers visiting us from all over the world”.

The winning entry will be selected by a guest jury. A prize of € 1500,- will be given to the winner as well as the project being realised. It will also be featured on Archello, Architectenweb and Materia to over 600,000 architecture and design followers worldwide.
