We were commissioned to supply bespoke smoke and fire doors, escape route doors, thermal and climate-controlled doors, as well as steel frames according to the size of the passages, which measure 3000 x 2400 mm for Circus Knie’s new winter quarters in Rapperswil. A distinctive feature of this project is the very large size of the passages.

The replacement building on the St. Wendelin site combines workshops, storage areas and the vehicle fleet of the traditional circus. The building was created using a hybrid wood construction method, features column-free aisles, a green roof and a wood façade.
