‘Ever changing reflections’
18th July 2017

GUARDIAN GLASS supplied five different products from its SunGuard range of solar control glass –Solar Silver 10, Solar Silver 20, Solar Neutral 67, HP 35/26, HP 43/3 in the building of the headquarters of the BNL-BNP Paribas Group building in Rome which is certified as class A and LEED Gold, for reduced energy consumption compared to traditional buildings.

Four of these provided a silver aspect, the other a more neutral appearance. All of these coated glass products provide different levels of light transmission and external reflection to suit the architect’s precise requirements.
Designed by Italian company 5+1AA Alfonso Femia Gianluca Peluffo architectures, the building was created to integrate into the surrounding urban environment.

According to Guardian, the glazing: “helps transform the building into a mirage-like structure, whose appearance continually changes as it catches the reflections of the sky and the city lights, whilst at the same time avoiding being seen as an obstruction to views.”

Alfonso Femia, Founder Partner, President and CEO at 5+1AA and project manager states: “With its dynamic, reflective colours, the glass in the building seeks its own dialogue with its surroundings and with the lights of Rome. Night or day, the glass provides unique, ever-changing light reflections, colours and transparencies.”
