Description
Eden, a 12-storey office development in Manchester’s New Bailey district, embodies sustainability and net-zero carbon principles, meeting UK Green Building Council standards for operational carbon neutrality. Its most distinctive feature is Europe’s largest living wall, spanning 3,300 m² with over 350,000 plants across 32 species.
This remarkable façade promotes biodiversity, purifies the air and regulates temperature, representing a net gain in biodiversity of 2,000%.
The façade also features COOL-LITE® XTREME 61/29, chosen for its outstanding solar control performance. With a low solar factor, it considerably reduces air-conditioning requirements while providing a high level of light transmission and extremely neutral aesthetics.
Given the building’s downtown location, noise reduction was a key consideration. Combined with STADIP SILENCE® laminated glass, the glazing solution significantly improves acoustic insulation, ensuring a quieter and more comfortable indoor environment for occupants. Laminated glass also enhances safety, making it ideal for busy urban settings.
