Meeting Sustainability Targets with Effective Façade Design

The tower offers 176 apartment units, a private roof garden on the 16th floor and is designed to meet Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 and BREEAM Excellent rating

We provided façade engineering services to Renzo Piano Building Workshop for the building.

Highlights

  • The façade scheme continues the double skin design that were used on the neighboring developments.
  • We developed various single and double skin configuration to achieve the demanding sustainability targets.
  • For optimal occupant comfort, openable windows and doors were selected for natural ventilation.
  • The external façade provides solar shading and enhanced protection from wind loads.
  • The façade systems comprise aluminum frames while openable elements are high quality timber to complement the luxurious interior finishes.
