The Loop building, due for completion in 2022, will be an important component of Science Village’s infrastructure. It will facilitate interaction between commercial companies and the region’s researchers and be a place where ideas and innovations are developed into useful technologies and products. The building will have 6 floors, with areas designed for companies, conferences, infrastructure, exhibitions and concerts
Inform Design was involved early in the process to identify potentials and bottlenecks of different glazing solutions, examine tailored solutions, and advise on the directions towards a high-performing skylight.
Tailored Solution for Solar Control: Frit Design
​
By applying frit only on selected glazing units, we can provide the same solar protection for the office spaces adjacent to the atrium and, at the same time, use a TGU that will not significantly affect the daylight quality in the atrium. By “tailor designing” the skylight, we increase the performance resolution, and we don’t allow the “bottleneck” to decide on the overall design.​
