Description of the project

The 100,000 square feet Visa CEMEA Headquarters building in Dubai Internet City is a hybrid, open plan work environment that offers multiple types of workspaces and collaboration zones to encourage innovation. Designed by Brewer Smith Brewer Group (BSBG) architects, the building style is simple and clean, while revealing its details when the observer gets closer to it. The building’s design centers around the use of white fins and a glazed façade. All edges of the building are exposed and visible from all angles.

For the glazed façade, the architect used two different aesthetics, Guardian SunGuard® Double Silver (DS) Steel Grey T, a coated solar control glass that provides a distinctive steel gray neutral appearance, and Guardian SunGuard® SuperNeutral (SN) 30T, a coated solar control glass that combines relatively high natural light transmission with a very high solar protection for a specific section of the façade that is highly exposed to the sun.
