High-tech glass “ We are known here in Melbourne to have four seasons in one day so it ' s a challenging environment to build in ,” commented Simm . “ It ’ s become fashionable to develop residential buildings with curtain walls , as opposed to balcony configurations , so it is important the glass facades need to perform . It needs to keep the heat out during summer and the heat in during winter .
“ There ' s a lot of very high-tech glass coatings and technologies being employed and adopted on our buildings . We have been working closely with Taiwan Glass Group , especially on Aurora Melbourne Central , which is the largest building in the CBD ,” said Simm .
