The Glass Fortress

Description

The building serves as a sale office. In line with the large green space provided at the main development, the sale office sets aside some of its land along the street to become a pocket park in a bustling urban area. The project features about 20,000 glass blocks with a secret garden inside. The look of the façade changes with the changing sunlight and the shifting shadow of trees. At night, the glass blocks are illuminated, making them a giant glass lantern.

Statement of the jury

The building, made up of 20,000 glass blocks is a real eye-catcher in natural light during the day, but especially by night when it’s illuminated in an atmospheric way. A fascinating concept that reveals a great aesthetic impact using simple means.
