Magasin X in Uppsala is Sweden’s largest all-wood office building, setting a new benchmark for sustainable design and construction. The 13,000 m² project combines innovative timber architecture with cutting-edge energy solutions and has been awarded the prestigious LEED Platinum certification. On the north facing façades, the large-size triple glass units combining COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 and ECLAZ® LUMI provide excellent views to outside and light without heat. The near 100% glazing proves that façades can be fully glazed even in a cold climate. Façades facing south are tripleglazed up to 60% to prevent overheating, with a static solution on the Southeast façade using COOL-LITE® XTREME 50/22 II and ECLAZ® LUMI, and a dynamic solution on the Southwest façade thanks to an inside shading device complementing the COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33. This glass blocks almost all infrared radiation from the sun while maximizing daylight. The metallized coating on the outer side of the textile provides complete opacity for the yarn and reflects the daylight energy back through the glass. The Kvadrat screen optimizes energy reflection and glare control with preserved views to outside thanks to its dark interior color. Recognized with multiple awards, this project stands as a testament to modern sustainable building practices. BACK TO CONTENTS GLASS FOR FAÇADE - 2025 EDITION 150
