Navana Reflection is a premium "Grade A" commercial development by Navana Real Estate Ltd., situated in the high-profile Gulshan 1 area of Dhaka. The building is designed as a sculptural corporate landmark, utilizing a faceted glass exterior that plays with light and angles to justify its name, "Reflection."

Structural & Façade Engineering
The defining feature of Navana Reflection is its multi-angled, "diamond-cut" building envelope, which required high-precision engineering to execute.
- Façade Systems: A hybrid of Semi-unitized and Stick systems.
- Glazing Technology: * High-Performance DGU: Double-glazed units with specialized Low-E coatings were used to manage the solar heat gain inherent in a glass-heavy design.
- Reflective Properties: The glass selection was specifically chosen for its balanced VLT (Visible Light Transmission) and external reflectivity to create the "reflection" effect without causing glare for surrounding structures.
- Faceted Geometry: The non-linear façade required custom aluminum extrusions and specialized bracketry to manage the transitions between different angular planes while ensuring a 100% weather-tight seal.
- Wind Load Analysis: Given the corner plot location and unique geometry, the façade was subjected to rigorous structural analysis to ensure stability against turbulent wind pressures.
