Burj Dubai: hinge systems for the highest building in the world 03-03-2009
The Burj Dubai, the Dubai Tower is under construction on the Arabian Peninsula with a height exceeding 800 metres. According to planning, the highest building in the world is due to open in December 2009. Its 206 storeys will house several hundred apartments, a hotel and several offices. During the selection of the hinge systems, SIMONSWERK met the stringent requirements regarding design and functionality and was awarded the order to supply hinge systems for the area of the high-quality doors.
The special quality of SIMONSWERK’s products, the functionality of the hinge systems with regard to load-bearing capacity, adjustments and the company’s comprehensive service also convinced fashion designer Giorgio Armani who will be opening the first of his "Armani Hotels and resorts" worldwide in the Burj Dubai.
Armani's design concept, a combination of comfort, simplicity and elegance, is impressively emphasized by the SIMONSWERK hinge systems. Leather-upholstered wooden doors with steel frames will be integrated into the room concept surface flush with the fully concealed hinge system from the TECTUS model series.
