The Potash Tower showcases an elegant dia-grid exoskeleton that defines its distinct architectural identity. This intricate triangulated framework not only ensures structural stability but also optimizes spatial efficiency by enabling column-free interiors.
The facade features high-performance, double-skin ceramic fritter glazing with an interstitial air cavity, offering superior insulation against radiant heat and significantly reducing the building’s cooling load.
The design smartly admits glare-free northern sunlight while shielding the interior from harsh solar exposure. Additionally, the south-western facade houses the service and circulation core, acting as a thermal buffer to minimize heat transfer and enhance overall energy efficiency.
