Structural & Façade Engineering
The building's envelope is a hallmark of the Simpletree brand, combining "brutalist" structural honesty with delicate transparency.
- Façade Systems: A hybrid of Stick systems for residential windows and specialized Glazed Railings.
- Materiality:
- Fair-Faced Concrete: The exterior features high-quality exposed concrete, providing a raw yet elegant texture that ages gracefully in Dhaka’s tropical climate.
- Double Glazed Units (DGU): High-performance glass is used to provide superior acoustic insulation—essential for urban Gulshan—while managing solar heat gain.
- Vertical Greenery: The façade integrates built-in planters and vertical green elements, which act as a natural thermal buffer and enhance the building’s air quality.
- Climate Responsiveness: The design incorporates deep concrete ledges and sun-shading fins (sun-breakers) to diffuse direct sunlight while allowing soft, natural light to permeate the living spaces.
