What about clarity, transparency?
The tricky component with the facade is that the glass
leans out and you look through it at an angle, so things
like roller marks from the toughening process, or getting
the Low E-coating right on the inside of the glass unit
all became absolutely essential to the quality and
consistency of the project.
What about sourcing local product s?
We tried to use as much Australian content and local
production as possible. When outsourcing product from
overseas, a reliable supply chain and guarantee of quality
is critical to the success of the project. When it came to
the glass, when it came to the technical aspects of it, we
had a very specific set of criteria to deliver. It was a very
tight window, we wanted a glass that was as clear as
possible. We had a huge expanse so we needed
performance to be exceptional. We had to build a
product profile that we could deliver the building in the
right way, and the Viridian product ticked all the boxes.
