Steel Construction 01/16

Cover Story: The corporate headquarters of the Belgian mechanical engineering group, Cockerill Maintenance & Ingénierie in Seraing, blossoms through its golden champagne skin. In the course of the renovation of the former industrial warehouse to the company headquarters, the façade was clad with Novelis J57S^®aluminium anodised in a golden champagne in order to create an innovative building housing more than 600 employees. The name “L’Orangerie” was chosen as a reminiscence of the Cockerill Castle’s history. In the 18^th century, the Castle was known for its unique garden with exotic greenhouses and the orangery, supplying the court with fruit and vegetables (see p. A4).
