How glass is made and what it offers
The 75,000 square metres façade features a curtain wall that is double glazed to allow for a high solar protection on neutral-looking glass.
The new-build façades are predominately brick-faced, with punched windows to reflect the surrounding context.
Curved glass, punch windows and precast stone panels make up the envelope on a figure-of-eight footprint.

Description of the project
Designed by José de Barro Lima Arquitetura, Trend Nova Carlos Gomes is an impressive project in an innovative and strategic location. The development consists of three towers – corporate, offices and residential, with complete infrastructure.
Guardian SunGuard™ High Performance (HP) Royal Blue 40 was chosen for the fully glazed facades due to its deep sky-blue reflection and high color rendering. HP Royal Blue 40 also helps to limit solar energy gain, while allowing high visible light transmission through the glass, helping to reduce the need for artificial lighting and to meet local energy codes.
