BARTH FRAME-MAKER'S FACTORY

H.A.J. HENKET, -1979, Industrieweg 16, Boxtel

ARCHITECT(URAL OFFICE):
Hubert-Jan Henket

BUILDING TYPE:
Industrial and public-utility buildings

These frame-makers' premises have the factory on the ground-floor and an office and exhibition area upstairs. The frame, a steel structure assembled round a rigid core of four box sections, is completely invisible from the outside. The facade consists of interchangeable sandwich and double-glazed panels of 1.2 x 2.4 m. clamped into neoprene sections. This ability to interchange in turn characterizes the company's product: aluminium passe-partout picture frames.
