Architectural Precision in Stainless Steel: The Bonn Hardthöhe Parking Garage Façade

The façade of the Bonn Hardthöhe multi-story car park at the Ministry of Defense in Bonn’s Hardthöhe demonstrates how design, function, and sustainability can come together in one cohesive architectural solution. Commissioned by the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning, the 3,400 m² facade is comprised of LARGO-NOVA 2032 Vario stainless steel mesh from HAVER & BOECKER.

Varying mesh sizes within individual panels create horizontal block stripes, resulting in a subtle, textile-like appearance with differing degrees of transparency. With an open area of 39%, 45% and 55%, the mesh strikes a balance between light transmission and privacy.

In addition to the design quality, the façade meets essential technical requirements: natural ventilation, weather protection, privacy, and fall protection. The corrosion-resistant, maintenance-free material is fully recyclable and is assembled with the efficient HAVER MeshLock fastening system.

The project is an example of how architectural mesh can be used as an integral part of modern façade design – durable, sustainable, and visually refined.
