When the architects at GCA embarked on the project, they were determined to create a modern structure that seamlessly integrates technology, energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
One of the primary challenges was to design the facade with a distinctive bronze appearance, which not only adds an elegant touch but also dovetails seamlessly with the neighbourhood's rich industrial history. However, the architects needed to ensure that the glazing would meet the stringent requirements for attaining LEED and WELL certifications. AGC suggested their Coating on Demand service and delivered a custom coating that perfectly meets the specific needs of Smart 22@, harmoniously combining aesthetics, performance and sustainability.
Thanks to AGC Coating on Demand, Smart 22@ earned outstanding sustainability credentials, proudly attaining prestigious LEED Platinum certification – a rating reserved for the most environmentally responsible and resource-efficient buildings – as well as WELL Platinum certification, clearly demonstrating the architects' commitment to promoting the well-being and health of the building’s occupants.
Smart 22@’s exceptional digital infrastructure, which delivers robust and reliable connectivity for its tech-savvy occupants, also earned it WiredScore certification.
Smart 22@ is a shining example of how the built environment can lead the way towards a greener, smarter and more prosperous future.
