Description
35 years ago, Norwegian architect Niels Torp designed the headquarters of airline SAS in the north of Stockholm for 2,000 employees. The building, located in a park near Haga Castle, was meant to look like an airport. The departments were virtually arranged
in «terminals», which are connected by a glazed atrium. The highly modern «street» was designed as a winter garden but was not considered attractive – uncoated DGU glass meant it was too cold in winter and too hot in summer.
The demands were strict – no change in the appearance of the glass or system was allowed, and many glazings were rejected. SAINT-GOBAIN
supplied the new solar control glass for the 3,500 m2 of double glazing.
The highly selective COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 II coating on extrawhite DIAMANT® glass was selected as the best match between looks and thermal comfort.
