Facade greening: functional and esthetical
The use of Webnet in the building of the technology centre La Rioja resembles the vines typical for the Spanish region.
The 210-meter long three-story building is constructed in steel on foundations of concrete. Its fully glazed façades, outdoor corridors and access ramps are enclosed with wire mesh Webnet structures that offer support for vines and climbers to produce a shaded microclimate.

Rebuilding Notre-Dame: How Stainless Steel Mesh Secured a World Heritage
When Notre-Dame Cathedral burned in 2019, the restoration team faced a challenge most architects never encounter: meeting modern safety codes inside an 850-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here's how Jakob Webnet made it possible.

When the Bridge Is the Architecture
Safety That Earns Its Place The best safety systems on high-design projects share a common trait: they solve the engineering problem without creating a visual one. At the Passerelle A9, Webnet does exactly that — a compliant, load-rated fall protection system that integrates into the bridge's architecture rather than sitting on top of it. If you're working on a bridge, overpass, or elevated structure where standard guardrail systems feel too heavy, Jakob's team can work through the options with you.
