E-Betoonelement AS submitted Helme St. apartment blocks with an external fa\u00e7ade made of graphic concrete that was manufactured according to the new technology to the Concrete Building of the Year 2011 competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The apartment blocks have been built from mountable reinforced concrete panels that carry vertical log patterns made as negative images. Exterior wall panels are covered with azure color to make concrete as a material stand out better. The fa\u00e7ade panels are eye-catching and unique in Northern Estonia. The architect has finished the apartment block\u2019s front fa\u00e7ade with graphic concrete pattern that depicts images inspired by the surrounding nature: reeds and water. The new technological method of creating large-scale images of graphic concrete was created in close collaboration of architect, developer, and manufacturer. The use of graphic concrete has so far been limited to the size and repeating of images of screen printing technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
