The office building s part of the Regent's Place development, which is a 13-acre site for the British Land company. The site includes retail, and residential in a total of eight buildings. There are 20,000 people who either work or live at the site.
Materials
The building materials which were used in the facade include: aluminum mesh, 80 different glass types and luminescent steel panels. The components of the facade make the building more energy efficient. Instead of an all-glass facade, 20% of the building's south side is insulated. On the east and west outer glass facades there is fritting in the glass. The fritting consists of dots which are baked the glass with paint. Inside the glass there is also fritting. Inside facing fritting has a silver color and facing out is a dark blue: these different fritting shades create a 3 dimensional appearance to the glass. The fritting also is a factor in sun-shading. There are long vertical sun shading fins that also assist in the sun-shading.[2] The energy saving measures incorporated in the design have earned the building an BREEAM - excellent (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) rating.[6]
