east and west façades required solar protection , which resulted in a rhythm of solid stone panels that step to concurrently tie into the placement of the roof solar panels .
The north & south façades are far more transparent with energy efficient double glazing , protected by over-cladding ‘ wings ’ at the corners to effectively cut out the east and west exposure , as well as functional balconies and horizontal shading for the north aspect in summer . Automated sun-controlled blinds to cut out glare completes a pleasant and healthy workplace .
The innovative application of façade materials has resulted in a product which is low-maintenance and timeless ; the design is simultaneously efficient and eye-catching .
