St. Bavo Cathedral

BE-Ghent

Contemporary access

Through its design featuring the use of VISS steel profiles, the visitor centre is synonymous with its valuable heritage. The new arched metal doors in the vestibule area of the cathedral were constructed using highly thermally insulated Jansen VISS steel profiles with a cover cap, normally available in aluminium but in this case made of brass and bronze. The towering glass front around the new entrance is a mullion-transom construction made using VISS.
