SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF OVER 20,000 SQM OF RAISED FLOOR FOR THE NEW PRESTIGIOUS LOUVRE MUSEUM OF ABU DHABI.
Designed by architect Jean Nouvel, winner of the Pritzker Prize, the Louvre in Abu Dhabi is one of the most ambitious cultural projects in the world, comprising 55 individual buildings inspired by the medina and Arab settlements.
The special feature of this prestigious work is the 180 metre high silver dome, consisting of almost 8000 metal stars incorporated in a complex geometric pattern.
Nesite has contributed to the completion of the project by installing over 20,000 square metres of raised floor suitable for museum applications, with high mechanical (Class 5) and seismic (Eurocode and UBS) characteristics.
The Louvre in Abu Dhabi is a project of enormous complexity, with high product customisation, which also includes Leed certification.
MATERIAL SUPPLIED

For years Nesite stands out for the production of raised floor with natural materials such as stone, marble and granite. In our factory the coating is coupled to the panel core.
Systems
Tetris Floor
Tetris Floor is a tongue and groove hollow floor system, made of calcium sulphate, the only building material of its kind that is classified throughout Europe with building materials class A1.
Structures
MPL
The structure with open cross-sectional stringers allows maximum stability of the floor even without gluing the columns to the supporting slab support.
Structures
BPC
The ideal solution for maximum performances, which ensures rigidity and electrical continuity thanks to the rectangular section closed stringers 50 x 25 mm.
