The facade design solutions Thermosash installed included a twin skin façade, integrated timber louvres and automatic window actuators providing passive heating and cooling of the building, as well as panel wall, skylights and shopfront. The façade included; twin skin façade solutions, unitised panel wall solutions, automatic window actuators - providing passive heating and cooling of the building. Thermosash also provided, skylights, shop-front and integrated timber louvres to this project.
