1. Collaboration and team work : Track through in virtually every area of
the building whether it’s a convening spaces that allow people to come together. It’s the ramp that allows people to circulate and exchange briefly on their way. 2. The Breathing building : They introduce openings all around the building largely in the bronze fins that self shade the façade. The rear face of them is an opening vent that enables air to pass through, be drawn across the floor plates and then go up through the void around the central ramp and out trough the roof light at the top. 3. Quality of the materials : All of the stone work is in large part hand finished and hand crafted. The stone comes from a quarry on the Yorkshire Derbyshire border the ceiling were manufactured in South Glamorgan. 4. Public Space : They give some space back to public to have some calm in the city. Mithras museum is a free place for people to go and have an appreciation of history. 5. Acoustic Lightings : The petals increase the surface area and that is all within hundred mill dept. The lighting is also key feature within the panel that provides a lux level of 300 lux. It give a super uniformity because of the spread of the LEDs across the space and also the acoustics even with the metal petals covering the ceiling. It’s give very good acoustic absorption performance as well.
