Mirror shine for Porsche dynamics

INOX COLOR developed an extraordinary reflective stainless steel façade for the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, which architecturally showcases the dynamic character of the brand. Over 8,500 m² of mirror polished stainless steel sheets with a slight directional grain made of 316L stainless steel transform the entrance area into an atmospheric world of experience. The stainless steel soffit with its reflective metal facade creates a sense of spaciousness through precise mirror effects, allowing visitors and the building to merge together.

 

Particularly challenging: the uniformly polished stainless steel surface of the concealed fastened cassette elements in special dimensions had to meet the highest aesthetic standards. Using innovative fastening technology and tailor-made surface development, INOX COLOR created this special surface for one of the most spectacular stainless steel museum facades in the world – a prime example of mirror polished stainless steel in contemporary architecture.
