The Crystal, London
Effisus Project
The project was developed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects, and its glazed structure has created a new independent global hub for debate on sustainable urban living.
Its design intends to both reflect the building´s context and at the same time having a degree of transparency to help connect the building with its surroundings. In this project were used different types of highly insulated glass with varying levels of transparency, allowing spaces to be naturally lit whilst controlling solar gain. This careful use of translucent and mainly opaque glazing allowed the costs of the building to be minimize.
Effisus Ecofacade system was applied as an integrated solution to ensure water and air tightness of all facade elements connections, protecting the building from potential water damage, maximizing its energy efficiency.
