FOAJEN - Malmö, Sweden

Desciption

Foajen (the Foyer) in Malmö looks a bit like a traditional brick house, though with interesting intrusions and compartments and with extra large windows. With state-of-the-art glass, function interacts with design to give a fantastic look in all weather conditions and at the same time emphasize the design of the facade. Without compromising on energy use or indoor climate.

Today, triple-glazed windows are required from top to toe to meet the energy requirements of buildings. The more glasses glass panes in an IGU the higher the reflection in buildup. Traditionally, single glass was used in shop windows for minimal reflection and maximum transparency, triple glass shop windows can seriously damage a new business, if you are not seen you do not exist. A single glass has eight percent reflection and in the ground floor of Foajen non-reflective solar control and energy glasses are used together with a completely non-reflective middle pane normally used in museums, to create the illusion of single glass - a triple glass with nine percent reflection. It provides a better opportunity to expose cafes and meets the criterion of openness that is part of the vision of Foajen - a hallway that opens up to the outside world.
