The geometric design of the two-layer façade was particularly challenging as the individual elements tilt in different ways. The ventilation element features a hurricane-proof baffle pane, which, like all of the insulating glass, was sourced from BGT. The design utilises laminated and single-pane safety glass with an argon-filled pane cavity. Depending on the direction of the windows, the glass was treated with either a heat-insulating or solar protection coating.
