Perfect humidity sways in the Dancing House

Prague’s iconic Dancing House (“Fred and Ginger”), designed by Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunić (1992–1996), stands on a once-bombed riverfront site at Rašínovo nábřeží. Its nine-storey deconstructivist form – a static glass tower paired with a dynamic curved concrete “skirt” topped by the metal Medusa cupola – instantly evokes a dancing couple.

Once controversial, it is now one of Prague’s most photographed modern landmarks, housing premium offices and a top-floor panoramic restaurant with views of Prague Castle and the Vltava.

To maintain a healthy, comfortable indoor climate across the premium offices and top-floor panoramic restaurant, the building relies on Condair EL electrode steam humidifiers for precise, hygienic humidity control year-round.

Condair EL

The Condair EL is the latest generation of well-known steam humidifiers from Condair. These products are the first choice whenever simple but reliable steam/air humidification is required.

Users of such installations look for simple and easy operation, and demand healthy, hygienically humidified breathing air. The Condair EL series steam humidifier meets these demands in an exemplary manner.

Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg - Germany

In January 2017, the Elbphilharmonie (or Elbe Philharmonic Hall) was officially opened after about ten years of construction work. Its unique glass facade, which plays on visual associations with sails and ocean waves, has already established itself as a new landmark of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg. Inside the Elbphilharmonie™s main concert hall, specially-designed and individually-carved wall and ceiling elements provide incredibly precise sound diffusion and perfect acoustics.

The main hall has 2,100 seats in total, and each seat is individually supplied with fresh air. Condair DL hybrid humidifiers ensure comfort for visitors and optimal acoustic conditions for the orchestra.

Das Fraunhofer-Institut für Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation IAO, Stuttgart (Germany)

In a 2-year study, the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO investigated the significance and effect of humidity in the office. The results show that humidity has a positive effect on the assessment of the workplace and can also have an effect on the health and performance of office workers.

Allianz-Arena, Munich

The Allianz Arena was one of the most controversial construction projects, even prompting a public vote by Munich citizens. It has since become a central landmark in northern Munich and an architectural symbol of the city. Particularly striking is the translucent, diamond-shaped outer shell, which can glow in different colors.

Using projectors and asymmetrical parabolic mirrors developed specifically for the Allianz Arena, the diamonds can be illuminated in different colors depending on the club's colors. The stadium is around 50 meters high, 200 meters long, and can accommodate 66,000 spectators. Condair RS steam humidifiers ensure optimum humidity levels.
