Technical information

The facade of the building is made of lightweight, transparent, mobile material (polycarbonat panels) in order to cope with the extreme climate weather and get natural sunlight. During the hot season, the facade opens up to provide ventilation for the workspace and enhance interaction between the interior and exterior of the building. Conversely, the facade closes during the rainy season. The transparent facade allows for natural daylight harvesting while preventing rain ingress.
