Buhler Offices
Home to the Buhler brand, the brains behind optical sorters, is this magnificent office design in Switzerland. The expansive building incorporates large elevations of frameless structural glazing to maximise the amount of natural light and enhance productivity.
Where large elevations of glass are used in office environments, it is important to consider solar glare. As well as obstructing screen views, the sunlight can cause the spaces to overheat, causing a drop in productivity as well as increased cooling costs. In extreme climates such as Switzerland where there is snow for long periods of time, the light can be blinding when it reflects off the white surfaces.
