Glaxo Smith Kline Administrative Building - Coarchitecture





Quebec based firm Coarchitecture has completed the 'Glaxo Smith Kline Administrative Building' in Quebec City, Canada.


The building's organic silhouette faces south, protected from solar heat gains by a system of sunshades integrated into a fully-glazed, double-skinned envelope with translucent metal panels on the east and west sides. 


Full transparency on the south side permits the exposure of the wooden skeleton whose frames have been refined to express the warm, organic characteristic desired.
