Dark steel surfaces meet red brick in Græsted

When the residents of Åkandehaven in Græsted step out of their front doors, they have history close at hand. The homes are next to Græsted Aggebo Hegn, a forest more than 200 years old with undulating terrain and traces of the Ice Age.

The new development was designed by Sino ApS and comprises 30 homes. The buildings combine classic red brick with a more contemporary façade design in dark steel.

The façades are clad with Nordic Klikfals 475 in anthracite grey. The vertical lines of the steel cladding contrast sharply with the horizontal brick bond, giving the building a calm yet distinctive appearance.

Long-lasting steel

Nordic Klikfals is made from GreenCoat® steel by SSAB, in which some of the conventional fossil-based oil in the colour coating has been replaced with Swedish rapeseed oil. This provides a strong, weather-resistant surface for long-lasting façade cladding.

DS Stålprofil has achieved Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze for its main product group of steel profiles for roof and façade cladding. The certification is based on documentation covering areas including material selection, product circularity and responsible production conditions.

At Åkandehaven, the steel cladding forms part of a cohesive architectural whole, with the new homes blending into an area rich in both nature and history.
