The use of windows in this building, has two essential functions in a day lit building: (1) daylight delivery or admittance, and (2) provision of view to the occupants. The former dictates a glazing with a very high visible light transmittance
full height glazing
The apartments’ interiors interact strongly with the exterior, with full height glazing, balconies, sky gardens and sky terraces. Sun shading and overhangs provide weather protection and screen and filter the strong tropical light. Walls of greenery provide sun-shading that convert heat into oxygen, improving local air quality.
Thus, these protruding features function not only as essential ar- chitectural design elements but principally serve as shields for window openings, because the building was situated parallel to the course of the sun (east-west)
