The EY Centre in Sydney, Australia is a recognisable part of the city’s skyline. Its central ‘Tower of Wood’ features a multi-layered facade that is both distinctive and highly innovative.
A single sheet of clear glass forms the outer layer of the facade, whilst the inner layer is a double glazed insulating unit with louvers that automatically adjust according to the natural cycles of the sun. Custom-machined louvers made with NATURCLAD-W wood panels run vertically between each glass module, providing warmth and extra sun protection to the building.
This facade system, coined mfree-SCCF (maintenance Free, Sustainable, Closed Cavity Facade), is a world-first that required two years of development specifically for this project. It provides thermal and acoustic insulation whilst also regulating the light and heat that enters the building.
The innovative design of the EY Centre has won various awards and been heralded as a vision of the future for high-rise buildings.
位于澳大利亚悉尼的 EY 中心是城市天际线中辨识度极高的一部分。其核心的「木之塔」拥有层层叠加的外立面，既独特又极具创新性。
立面外层是一整片透明玻璃，内层则为带有自动百叶的双层中空隔热单元——百叶随太阳的自然周期自动调节。以 NATURCLAD-W 木纹面板定制加工的百叶竖向贯穿于每组玻璃模块之间，为建筑增添温暖与额外的遮阳保护。
这一外立面系统被命名为 mfree-SCCF（免维护、可持续、封闭式双层幕墙），是全球首创，专为本项目研发了两年。它提供隔热与隔音性能，同时调节进入建筑的光与热。
EY 中心的创新设计已斩获多项大奖，被誉为高层建筑的未来愿景。
