The overarching principle for the design of this large residential building is a deep façade which shades the glazing. The provision of solar shading and insulation are two key factors to consider in reducing energy consumption and reliance on air conditioning. All the apartments have wide balconies with seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and great daylighting which is free from glare. The building’s monolithic treatment assumes a monumental quality, while at close quarters its treatment is fine-grained, giving it poise.
