In the heart of Lille, France, the Emblem project is redefining urban architecture with its ambitious scale and cutting-edge design. This mixed-use building combines 17 floors of residential apartments with 9 floors of office space, perfectly situated in the city center. The façade features advanced glazing solutions from Saint-Gobain Glass, contributing to the project’s achievement of the prestigious “Excellent” rating under the BREEAM certification, a globally recognized standard for sustainable building performance. The glazing is carefully selected to meet the project’s demanding specifications for aesthetics and energy efficiency. Highly selective COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 solar control glass lets in a maximum of natural light (70%) while retaining more than two-thirds of the sun’s heat. This performance reduces air conditioning requirements and electricity consumption, ensuring optimum indoor comfort and energy efficiency all year round. Complementing this is COOL-LITE® ST BRIGHT SILVER, a solar control coated glass with a sleek, reflective finish, that enhances the building’s modern aesthetics. The project’s focus on sustainability and logistics efficiency makes the Emblem a standout example of French innovation and sustainable design. BACK TO CONTENTS GLASS FOR FAÇADE - 2025 EDITION 62
