Before this striking building was constructed in 1980, the city had a circus building made of wood. When the original building burned down in 1976, the construction of this modern building began, which at the time of construction, it was considered one of the best circus buildings in the whole of the USSR.
The structure called for a modern and high-performance recladding to pair with the building’s unique white dome semi-arches feature. There were clear requirements for the new cladding material, as the former structure dealt unsuccessfully with the harsh Russian winters.
The external cladding needed to withstand:
- Extreme environmental conditions - Thermal shocks and Humidity - A fully developed Fire
Both from our Stone Texture collection, white for ICEBERG and CANYON for that terracotta warmth, Frontek porcelain panels are unaffected by any environmental condition and require no maintenance, properties that have caught the attention of architects and builders in Russia, resulting in over 50 projects since its first appearance in the land of tsars.
