Naturkraft clad for wind, weather and the west coast

Naturkraft near Ringkøbing is an adventure park where the forces of nature are made tangible and accessible to the senses. Here, visitors can feel the force of gravity inside a zorbing ball, explore wind machines and learn more about the landscape of the west coast.

The park encourages curiosity about weather and natural phenomena. Through activities such as Revlehullet and Vesterhavsbølgen, children and adults alike can experience how the forces of nature shape the world around us.

Visitors can also take a windswept walk along the embankment and finish on the panoramic bridge above the main building. From here, the landscape opens up, and the building becomes a natural part of the story of the site.

Clad for the rugged west coast

Format Nature was chosen as the façade cladding for the main building. The 3 mm galvanised steel sheet has the strength required for a windswept location close to the west coast, where materials must be able to withstand the forces of nature.

The steel cladding has a raw and honest appearance. Over time, the hot-dip galvanised surface will develop a patina as it is exposed to wind and weather. This gives the façade a dynamic character that evolves with the site’s natural surroundings.

The main building almost seems to grow out of the embankment. Concrete, glass and galvanised steel support the architectural concept and make the choice of materials a distinctive part of the park’s identity.

Flat sheets offering design freedom

Format is made to measure with pre-punched mounting holes. This gives architects and developers excellent scope to work precisely with surfaces and detailing.

DS Stålprofil supplies the flat sheets in three variants: Format Nature, used at Naturkraft; Format Colour, available in a wide range of colours; and Format Rust, made from COR-TEN® steel.

At Naturkraft, Format Nature is a strong choice of material. Raw in appearance and designed for a building where nature is not merely the setting, but the central focus.
