Material and its Properties

The glass skin of the building is designed to reflect the Dutch skies. The panels of fused glass with lens-like spheres reference a vernacular window design that can be seen throughout the historic city. The combination and rhythm of open panels of high-performance glass and closed fused glass panels enable a high degree of energy efficiency.
