Products Used Pilkington Eclipse Advantage™ EverGreen Description Pilkington Eclipse Advantage™ EverGreen glass was used to dress the east and west facing walls. This increased the natural light entering the building during the day whilst at night the glass allows a warm evening spray of light. Glass doors on the lower and ground levels contribute to a seamless interaction between the different floors and the functional rooms on those floors. Pilkington Eclipse Advantage™ EverGreen glazing is used for the building envelope, while clear toughened glass is used on surrounding balconies and pool deck. The north-west facing side of the house, which tends to experience sun during summer, required a combination of strategies to maximise the opportunity of natural light entering the house whilst at the same time controlling excess heat. The solution again was to glaze it with Pilkington Eclipse Advantage™ EverGreen providing its glare, heat and UV transmission reduction qualities without compromising transparency. Additional measures help to control the strong solar radiation during summer months. Pilkington Insulight™ incorporating blinds, electronically controlled insulated glass units with internal venetian blinds, reduce the amount of solar radiation into the house. Full-height glazing along the entire ground floor level draws daylight deep into the centre of the house. Reference AU001 Launch Date 2005 Location AU Address Sydney, Aiustralia |
