Whatever the construction challenge, we have the glass to help meet it.
See how the correct choice of glass can help transform a home – and even our wellbeing.

How glass is made and what it offers
The 75,000 square metres façade features a curtain wall that is double glazed to allow for a high solar protection on neutral-looking glass.
The new-build façades are predominately brick-faced, with punched windows to reflect the surrounding context.
Curved glass, punch windows and precast stone panels make up the envelope on a figure-of-eight footprint.

Description of the project
Faria Lima 3500 is a 25,000 square-meter office building in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and is the headquarters of Itau Bank. The building has an inverted prismatic shape that resembles a cut diamond.
The building’s impressive, fully glazed façade was achieved using Guardian SunGuard™ High Performance (HP) AG43 double silver coated solar control glass. SunGuard HP AG43 provides a combination of aesthetic and performance qualities. The glass allows plenty of natural daylight into the building but helps minimize solar energy gain. This reduces glare from direct sunlight but provides excellent solar heat reflection, helping to keep the building cool and to reduce demands on air conditioning. The appearance of the glass is one of uniform reflection and color.
The construction has a LEED Core & Shell Gold level certification, as well as LEED EB O&M Platinum level, and LEED for Commercial Interior Gold level.
