Odesa Marine Passenger Terminal

Kinetic facade on an independent structure

Where they are located: 6, Prymorska Street, Odesa

The idea of a kinetic facade assumes a number of conditions: wind rose, location, visibility. Our engineers have developed a project that has been adapted to the above conditions.

Project features

  • Use of domestic materials.
  • The first kinetic facade implemented in Ukraine.
  • It is implemented in the shortest terms. The works were carried out 24 hours a day.

Inclined facade

The vertical facade of the mullion-transom system has been installed during the reconstruction works and the overall design of Odesa Marine Passenger Terminal has been compromised. The city administration made a decision to renovate the look of Odesa Marine Passenger Terminal by reconstruction and installation of a kinetic facade. It represents a matrix of plates, which move under the influence of air mass movement.

Independent construction

One of the most difficult tasks in the course of the project implementation was the condition of installation of the whole complex on an independent structure, which will not create a load on the building of the marine terminal. The entire facade is installed on its own portal. It does not touch the building and is a separate structure — a metal structure with increased load capacity, combining all the latest solutions.
