Project Composition & Positioning

1. Cultural Inspiration & Architectural Symbolism

◆ Design Theme: 

It is inspired by a “Prism Gemstone”. Because of that, the façade’s stacked geometric facets pay homage to Nairobi’s dynamism and spirit of innovation.

◆ Light & Shadow Aesthetics:

The prismatic façade interacts with natural light, which has createda dynamic spectrum of colors and also reflected the city’s multicultural essence.

Aluminum louvers are parametrically designed to optimize light-shadow interplay and solar shading efficiency.

2. Core Façade System Technologies

◆ Hidden Frame Glass Curtain Wall:

  • Ultra-clear glass and structural silicone bondingare utilized, making it achieve a seamless and transparent visual effect.
  • The high-performance Low-E coating blocks more than 85% UV radiation, reducing indoor cooling loads.

◆ Aluminum Louver System:

  • Custom anodized surface treatment enhances weather resistance, suitable for Nairobi’s tropical savanna climate.
  • Adjustable louver angles balance natural daylighting and shading control.

3. Performance & Sustainability

◆ Superior thermal and acoustic insulation, ensuring a balance between aesthetics and functionality.

◆ High-quality, durable materials, designed for long-term performance in challenging environmental conditions.
