This award-winning, BREEAM Outstanding building used HALIO smart glass as part of the transformation of c1871 railway station into a covered sustainable city of tomorrow and destination in Europe.
We chose HALIO for the renovation of Gare Maritime for three reasons: 1: because it is so user friendly. 2: because with HALIO there is no need to add extra elements to the facade of the 100-year-old structure. And 3: because it is in line with the circular economy concept we had in mind.
