The newly renovated Baltic Station Market, featuring a roof made from sustainable GreenCoat® colour coated steel, from SSAB, has been shortlisted for the World Architecture Festival (WAF) Award 2018 in the category “Old and New”.
SSAB is well known for partnering with innovative and award-winning architects that are dedicated to creating sustainable buildings. A recent example of this is KOKO architects and their redesign of the Baltic Station Market, in Tallinn, Estonia.
The new “saw-tooth” roof of the market is made with long strip panels of sustainable GreenCoat® colour coated steel. The roof acts as a unique, central element and underlines the sustainable angle of the building, whilecreating a contemporary and diverse new market.
The GreenCoat® colour coated steel product used on the Baltic Station Market features a Bio-based Technology (BT) coating with Swedish rapeseed oil instead of fossil based oils, which are traditionally used. This patented coating technology is currently the only one of its kind on the market.
“The saw-tooth roof is specific due to its scale as well as the large surface needed to endure big storms, heavy rains and the weight of the snow that accumulates during the winter – all without extra maintenance.
