The building is the result of two intersecting perpendicular volumes. The natural material selection allows it to blend with its surrounding and not obstruct from the water or its adjacent buildings. The building allows the natural light to permeate and penetrate the volumes making it feel open, ample and comfortable. The long, clean lines allows opportunities to integrate vistas to the water and bring the exterior inside. www.yatzer.com Posted: 03/30/2010 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this

The cladding was specially designed to allow ventilation through the facade at any point, avoiding the need to design in conventional louvres to suit each individual boiler’s requirements. The upper section is clad in removable diamond-patterned aluminium sheets, whose scale-like form continually changes character as it catches the light in ever-changing ways. archdaily.com Posted: 03/29/2010 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this
