The façade is composed of a palette of high quality materials
consisting primarily of high performance glass, naturally
anodised aluminium and stone.
On the upper levels there is a unitised double skin façade
system comprised of outward opening single glazed
laminated panel with a passively externally ventilated cavity
with motorised (BMS controlled) interstitial solar/glare roller
blinds (with user occupant local override control) and a fixed
internal insulated double glazing unit with high performance

mid-grey limestone band. The same limestone finish wraps
around the soffit of the cantilevered projecting façade at
