The Circadian Curtain Wall draws on the very real connection humans—and all living organisms—have with the daily cycle of daylight and darkness. The facade’s bubbled glass offers wide-angled views to the outdoors and brings natural light deep into the building. As key components of biophilic design, natural light and views have been shown to boost performance and general happiness.

A cavity between the facade’s exterior and interior glazing creates a Trombe Wall effect allowing solar-warmed air to heat the building during the winter or be siphoned off in warmer months to reduce cooling loads. The six-inch space between glass also provides a clean, maintenance-free housing for automatic shades that would raise and lower depending on the position and intensity of the sun.
