主立面，西面沿Showadori街，它由一个挤压铝制的屏幕和一个带有内置登山者百叶窗的双层外墙系统组成。这种组合可以保护室内免受强烈的西阳和外部噪音的影响，同时也能从建筑物的内部控制对繁忙的城市社区的看法。因为沿街的立面将相当大，大约60米x40米。其目的是创造一个不同的表达，同时通过一个屏幕保持一致的两层精致挤压铝与Y截面。(鼓掌)

The main façade, the west façade along Showadori-Street, is comprised of a screen of extruded aluminum and a double-skin façade system with built-in climber blinds.  The combination protects the interior from the strong west sun and exterior noise while providing a controlled view of the busy urban neighborhood from the interior of the building.  Since the façade along the street would be quite significant in size, approximately 60m x 40m, the intent was to create a varied expression while maintaining uniformity through a screen with two layers of delicate extruded aluminum with a Y-section.
