The buildings façade, made up of bay-like windows and consisting of thermally efficient, double-glazing, were designed to cantilever slightly, providing a unique architectural element, while also permitting natural light into the building. A 175mm wide hidden frame, unitised curtain wall system was utilised to enclose the building extension from Level 7 over 2 storeys, while the Northern light court, South and East elevations combined 150mm wide, front glazed, fixed and awning windows. All panels were craned into position, with the largest weighing 350kg.
