Glass ventilated facade TRITON SQUARE

metalconcrete

Project Feature The building envelope includes a “double-skin” active façade with natural ventilation, the atrium wall and balconies, the atrium glass roofing and the prefabricated concrete panels with limestone. All curtain wall components were prefabricated “off site” to the maximum possible extent to achieve a very short installation programme. Spandrel panels for the atrium wall and double-skin façade were up to 1.5 m high and 12 m long. A special application for this project are the integrated air supply ducts for the building within the cavity of the double-skin façade. The air ducts were pre-installed into the spandrel panels in the factory. The external glazing incorporates a thermal flue which reduces winter heating loads and summer cooling loads. All external glazing to the office areas is protected by motorised blinds linked to the building management system.
