Located on an important urban axis east of Budapest's city centre, the Puskás Arena replaces the old Népstadion (People's Stadium), which had been built on the same spot in 1948 – 1953. With a capacity of more than 67,000 spectators, it is the largest sports arena in the country. As a sign of historical continuity, the architects adopted certain design elements from the Népstadion such as the concrete stair pylons with their perforated concrete screen walls. The facade between the pylons has been clad with steel wire mesh. The

90m wide cantilevered roof is partly covered with translucent polycarbonate and, for the most part, with aluminium standing seam panels manufactured by Zambelli. The metal profiles were given a transparent AluNatur Light Titanium Brushed coating by Euramax, through which the original metal substrate is still visible. This too, is a sign of continuity: back in 2003, Közti Architects had already specified a metal roof with the same coating for the neighbouring Laszló Papp Budapest Sports Arena.

A milestone in the renewal of the Leiden station area in the Netherlands, once completed, Lorentz Leiden will consist of three light-coloured towers of different heights atop a plinth building. The first two high-rises and plinth have already been built. With their slightly sparkling aluminium cladding by Bemo Systems, the apartment towers are a dominant feature of the Leiden skyline. Euramax contributed the colour coating on the 1-mm-thick, 65/400 cm standing seam facade elements: AluNatur Elox Pale Umber

Brushed for the darker of the two towers and AluNatur Elox Medium Champagne Brushed for the lighter one. The high-rises are crowned with two-storey maisonettes with panoramic views. The plinth building contains a mix of studios and commercial spaces including the Heineken commercial headquarters and brewpub. To accentuate the different uses, the apartments were given brick facades with white concrete window frames whereas the facade towards the station square consists of brick-red concrete elements.
