Project Name: Bolte Tower 11, Docklands
Project Location: Melbourne, Australia
Building Height: 85m
Glass Area: 12,000 ㎡
Glass Configuration: LOW-E Laminated Insulating Glass, LOW-E Insulating Glass
Architectural Design: Bates Smart Architects
Bolte Tower 11, Docklands adopts a combined curtain wall system of LOW-E Laminated Insulating Glass and LOW-E Insulating Glass, which adapts to the climate of the waterfront dock area in Melbourne, Australia and the application requirements of high-rise residential buildings.
LOW-E Insulating Glass has excellent thermal insulation, heat preservation and sound insulation performance, which can effectively block solar radiation heat, reduce indoor energy consumption, resist the changeable wind and rain in Melbourne, and improve the comfort and quietness of living spaces.
On the basis of insulating energy-saving performance, LOW-E Laminated Insulating Glass adds a laminated safety structure.
Fragments will not splash or fall off when the glass is broken, which greatly improves the safety of high-rise buildings.
It also further enhances sound insulation, wind pressure resistance and weather resistance, adapting to the wind and humidity conditions of coastal areas.
The combined application of the two types of glass not only meets the transparent texture and light-shadow effect of the tower’s curved facade, presenting a modern and simple high-end residential temperament, but also achieves an integrated balance of energy saving, safety, sound insulation and aesthetics, which is highly consistent with the building’s overall positioning as a modern waterfront landmark.
