Drinking water reservoir
It’s a challenge to make a functional building look sleek or modern, but the designers of this vast drinking water reservoir in Germany, have managed to do both with great panache, thanks to the use of KS600 Optimo insulated panels from Kingspan, made using hot-dip zinc-coated steel from Metal Trade Comax.

ZuidWestHoek College
An outer shell of small, brightly coloured and vertically elongated rectangular steel panels lends a playful and appealing appearance to ZuidWestHoek College, a secondary school and sports college at Ossendrecht, a small town in the southern Netherlands, located only a few kilometres north of the Belgian border.
