Advantage Place’s distinctive kente-inspired sunscreens provide visual and solar shading on the east and west, whilst its sculptured form is clad in a porcelain ventilated façade that keeps the interior cool and is easily washed clean by rain. The extensive use of balconies and ledges provides additional solar shading and minimise the building’s heat load and energy consumption. In the context of Ghana’s perennial power crises, this is considered a critical design decision. Warm-coloured marble chip plaster offers a visual contrast to the porcelain and glass facades and presents a colourful backdrop for urban activity.
