Architecture
The Zuellig Building, a new 33-story office tower, brings together a superb location, world-class design and green technologies to become Metro Manila's premier business address.
Green by Design
The Zuellig Building combines a commitment to environmental responsibility with state-of-the-art infrastructure and superior finishes to offer tenants a prime-grade workplace of a quality nmatched in the Philippine office market.
Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (New York) in collaboration with W. V. Coscolluela & Associates, the Zuellig Building aims to be the first commercial office building in Makati City to receive LEED Gold-level certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Simplicity of expression is achieved with the all-glass façade and the use of large floor-to-ceiling glazing panels. The building gains its identity from the ceramic frit pattern of the glass curtain wall. Inspired by bamboo and flowing water, this distinctive texture lends reference to local organic motifs and serves to supplement the shading capabilities of the building envelope. The double-paned, low-emissivity (low-E) glass system minimizes solar heat gain and energy loss, while maximizing the penetration of daylight.
