A Landmark in Glass and Steel
The tower's façade is its architecture: a double-skin glass and steel system that reflects the sky and the city from every angle while managing solar gain and internal climate. As project architect for the façade, Ilja Burchard was responsible for developing the detail and resolving the junction between the curtain wall system and the building's structural frame — a process that ran across several years of construction.
