Privacy - varying levels of privacy are required for the numerous spaces that make up the Jamatkhana.
Extensive clear glass is used at the lower lobby to provide increased porosity at the public realm, while an overlay of decorative screens provide a degree of privacy important for upper level gathering spaces where required.
Cyan is being used as an accent colour for a grid of spandrel glass squares that form a secondary pattern on all tower facades and is a culturally appropriate colour for this project.
Materiality
A simple restrained palette of materials is being proposed to reflect the architectural program of the
Jamatkhana and the residential units above.High quality durable materials include metal panel wall cladding and soffits, coloured spandrel glass and decorative geometric laser cut metal screens.
Large format porcelain slab “limestone like” panel cladding on the podium serves as a counterpoint to the screen that are suspended above the main lobby.
A pattern of round coloured glass openings in the stairwell wall facing Drake St will provide further animation to the façade when lit at night from within."
