4 FAQs about Berlin solar Glass Project

What makes Berlin's cubic glass building special?

The façade architecture of the cubic glass building at Berlin’s main railway station is a striking structure with interlocking light-reflecting and light-absorbing geometric surfaces. But what really makes the CUBE special is found on the inside.

How energy-efficient is the glass façade on cube Berlin?

The glass façade on cube berlin is highly energy-efficient thanks to the carefully considered design and osmotic skin. Solar control coatings were applied to the glass which helps to reflect radiant heat back out into the atmosphere and simultaneously bounce internal heat back inside, resulting in a highly energy-efficient fully glazed building.

Why do Berlin offices use reflective glazing?

Externally the use of reflective glazing celebrates the surrounding Berlin cityscape, but it also captures the movement of people passing by on Washingtonplatz. Internally the abundant natural light, outdoor spaces and the flow of the offices benefit the occupant’s well-being immensely.

Can architectural glass design deliver on 'intelligent' commercial buildings?

Less apparent is how this double skin ventilated façade is also a perfect example of how architectural glass design can deliver on the structural and energy requirements of today’s ‘intelligent’ commercial builds. As well as its stunning architecture, cube berlin, a CA Immo project, is committed to environmental sustainability.
