Hero
A Sauerbruch Hutton facade precedent demonstrating the integration of polychromatic vertical glass panels within a structured metal grid system.
- What we like about this project
- The vertical strips of color echo the changing autumn hues of the trees positioned immediately in front of the building.

- contemporary
- Geometry
- Grid-based curtain wall elevation featuring alternating vertical bands of clear glazing and colored glass panels framed by metallic spandrel panels.
- Facade system
- Metal panel rainscreen or unitized curtain wall with integrated colored glazing inserts.
- Structural guess
- Steel or concrete frame with non-structural unitized curtain wall envelope.
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story commercial or institutional building facade.
- Lighting
- Direct, diffused daylight catches the metallic panels and illuminates the translucent colored glass elements.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant and lively due to the interplay of colorful architectural elements and natural autumn leaves.
- Environmental context
- Urban or campus setting framed by mature deciduous trees with autumn foliage.
- Spatial experience
- The facade presents a rhythmic, flat urban edge whose polychromatic panels play against surrounding natural foliage.
- Composition rhythm
- Strict orthogonal grid modulated by a repeating chromatic sequence across vertical window bays.
- Style reading
- Contemporary polychromatic rationalism
