Did an internship there. Was a nice building for sure. Agressive geese outside though
Great design. One big flaw with a bit of a story.
According to the architects nobody on the inside would be bothered by the sunlight. This because the metal structure was designed in such a way that it would resist/reflect most of the incoming sunlight… As a result the people in charge were convinced there wasn’t a need to install modern sun blocking devices or curtains.
Well, that PR-statement turned out to be complete bullshit (which most of us figured out except the ~~people~~ manager in charge of the construction). And a few months after we moved there they had to figure out a way to install classic rolling curtains at every office window because of the massive amounts of negative feedback from all employees.
