It features that help maintain comfortable interior conditions for the majority of occupied hours, without use of the mechanical climate control systems, including sliding yellow sunshades and overhanging floor slaps. Like the layers of atmosphere that protect our planet from the extreme temperatures and radiation from space, facades provide buildings with the filters and shields that make them habitable for living, play, and work.

The facade is the interface between humans and nature. For the remaining third of the main facade, the glazing is pushed out to the slab edge, with venetian-type exterior blinds suspended from above on each level. Such shading elements have the advantage of controlling glare and, unlike interior blinds, blocking heat gain and retracts them in high winds to avoid damage
