Black steel profiles and warm wood create striking contrasts on headquarters facade
In Skjern, a commercial building that combines raw strength with warm detailing has come to life. The facade of HydraSpecma’s new headquarters is clad in black DS Nordic Click Seam in a bonded layout, where the long, vertical lines create a sleek and modern expression. At the centre of the building, the dark steel is softened by horizontal wood panels that add warmth and contrast to the overall appearance.
HydraSpecma supplies hydraulics and power motion and has a strong tradition of innovation and reliable operations. With their new headquarters, they have gained a facade that reflects the company’s identity: robust, dependable, and with attention to detail.
Steel cladding with flexibility and durability
The choice of DS Nordic Click Seam for the facade cladding offers numerous advantages. The concealed fixings and uniform surface ensure an exclusive look, while the installation is fast and straightforward. The facade is clad with GreenCoat® Pural BT Matte, a surface coating from SSAB that contributes to long-lasting durability and high colour retention. As an added benefit, DS Stålprofil is Cradle to Cradle® Certified Bronze, meaning the products meet documented requirements for recyclability and responsible production.
A facade with versatile design options
DS Nordic Click Seam is a versatile choice that can be combined with various materials to create unique architectural solutions. At HydraSpecma, the dark steel profiles interact elegantly with the warm wood panels.
We’ve seen many examples of how DS Nordic Click Seam can be beautifully and stylishly combined with wood on facades. DS Nordic Click Seam can also be paired with other materials to create an equally timeless appearance – for instance, in combination with brick, slate or similar elements.
