Sustainable Features
 1 . Solar Geometry – Diamond Shape

The 25° tilt angle of the facades ensures that North and South facades
are fully self-shaded during the hottest mid-day hours.
For the East and the West facades, the tilting façade helps to reduce the
solar impact by 41%.
The tilted glazing admits more of the desirable diffuse light reflected
off the landscape for glare free day lighting use in the building
