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.

Bird-friendly solutions
We see growing adoption of bird-friendly glazing requirements due to both regulatory and voluntary initiatives, and we have developed a suite of glass solutions that help deter bird collisions. Each option offers a unique aesthetic and can be paired with select Guardian SunGuard™ coatings to help meet thermal performance needs.
Europe
Bird1st™ Lami incorporates 3D sequins that catch the light to produce subtle twinkles visible to birds, while remaining discreet to humans.
North America
Bird1st™ Etch glass is often the preferred option when a visible pattern that is translucent, rather than opaque, is needed.
Bird1st™ UV glass creates a contrasting pattern that birds can see, but which is much less visible to humans.
Bird-friendly fritted glass is a proven and economical solution that creates a patterned opacity that birds can easily see.
