After taking the step into the tourism
sector in 2005 in collaboration with
Four Seasons, the Astay company is
now bringing its successful partnerships
and experience to the Turkish
Riviera. The Four Seasons Resort in
Bodrum is being built on a site measuring
1 million square metres, on a
cliff overlooking the sea. Jansen is
supplying the site with VISS pivoting
doors and Janisol HI doors.

Four Seasons Hotel Bodrum, Turkey
Hotel Le Calvet Bordeaux, France
The renovation and reconstruction
of this hotel complex includes
the use of Janisol and Janisol Arte
window systems, as well as the VISS
façade system. It has been planned
entirely in BIM, with the interior
architecture designed by renowned
designer Philippe Starck.
Bundesbank Dortmund, Germany
The new branch of the Bundesbank
is being built on the site of a former
barracks. The site has 79,000 square
metres of floor space and the new
building will have 290,000 cubic metres
of enclosed space. It will be used
for verifying, sorting, cleaning and
packing coins and bank notes before
putting them back into circulation.
The security requirements are strict
as you might expect, although the
bank wishes not to disclose the exact
structure of the building, nor may we
disclose exactly which Jansen profile
systems will be implemented.
Teatro Albéniz Madrid, Spain
This iconic cultural site will soon be
shining with new splendour, with
a new hotel set to be opened at the
venue in autumn 2021. The new
building makes use of Janisol Arte
2.0, Janisol and Janisol C4.
Leerfabriek KVL Oisterwijk, Netherlands
The disused former KVL leather
factory in Oisterwijk is being transformed
into a trendy leisure and
shopping centre to serve the city and
surrounding area. Around 60 companies
will be located at the site. Of
all the buildings in what was once
Europe’s biggest leather factory, two
will be given new uses. Janisol HI
doors, Janisol C4, Janisol 2, Art’15
and Economy 50 EW30 are to be installed
within the existing structure.
BNP Paribas Paris, France
On the fashionable Boulevard des
Italiens in the French capital, the
headquarters of the major bank BNP
Paribas is in the process of renovation.
The new building will make use
of Janisol Arte 2.0 dry glazing.
Waterside living:
Sluishuis, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Right where the city meets the sea,
Amsterdam is now home to a new
housing development known as the
Sluishuis (or ‘Lock House’) – a large,
courtyard-style apartment complex
brings a whole new meaning to the
idea of waterside living. It appears to
float on the water, rising up towards
the sea like the open bow of a ship.
The block descends towards the
neighbouring district in a cascade
of landscaped terraces, creating a
natural transition to its small-scale surroundings. A promenade snakes
its way around the building and out
towards the water, offering a range of
public facilities. It also extends right
up to the top of the building, where
it serves as a viewing platform over
Lake Ljssel.
The Sluishuis offers a mixture of
freehold and rental apartments in a
range of different sizes. What makes
the building particularly special
is the combination of sloped and
straight glass panels, each measuring
1360 x 3120 millimetres and forming
an integral part of each apartment –
functioning as a base plate, among
other things. Never before has a glass
panel for façades received fire resistance
certification in this position.
Once again, Jansen’s product stepped
up to the plate, providing EI90
fire-proofing.
