Cityringen Gammel Strand | Copenhagen

Ceramic tiles from MOEDING were used for the facade design in seven of the 17 new subway stations. The Orange Peel glaze surface used for the first time highlights the natural feel of the material and is excellently suited to construction projects of this kind due to its simple maintenance. Diagonally cut panels at the Gammel Strand station give off a particularly fine and modern effect due to the innovative structure which is generated by the sloped tile shape.

We opted for ceramic tiles from MOEDING because they offer a pronounced material and surface structure in large formats with a relatively low weight / area ratio and a heavy-duty, robust, vandal-resistant and aging-resistant cladding. The ceramic facade is a non-metallic cladding that allowed us to lay antenna cables for radio communication in the 150 millimeter space behind the panels.
