The 16,000 sqm all-glass surface uses Saint-Gobain’s Cool-Lite SKN154 in both laminated andheat-strengthened variants to ensure a consistent appearance between the vision and shadow box zones. For the ground floor glazing the recently launched Cool-Lite Xtreme was chosen for maximum transparency combined with low solar heat gain.
